We love this easy apple pie. You don’t need to pre-cook the filling. Instead, let the apples sit with sugar, salt, and spices for one hour. As they sit, the apples release some natural juices and soften, giving them a head start before baking in the pie. The pie crust we use is the same as all other pies on Inspired Taste. Our flaky pie crust recipe never fails us. You can use your favorite, but we highly recommend our recipe.
