Classic Apple Pie

This classic apple pie is a great dessert to make ahead. You can freeze the uncooked pie, but don't brush it with egg or dust it with sugar beforehand. Place the pie in the freezer for 30 minutes, to harden it slightly, then double wrap it with plastic wrap. When ready to bake, unwrap the pie, brush it with egg and sprinkle with sugar.

Deep-Dish Vegan Apple Pie

Extra virgin coconut oil is a great substitute for butter in both the pie dough and the apple filling to make this all-American fruit pie vegan friendly. Try using a mix of apples for the filling: Golden Delicious keep their shape and are a nice contrast to the soft McIntoshes, and the Granny Smiths have a nice tartness.

Spiced Apple Pear Pie

Cold butter is the key to perfect pie dough. When you're working the dough with your hands, use your fingertips, as they’re the coolest part of your hand, and try to touch it as little as possible.

Apple and Dried Fruit Lattice Pie

Sauternes Apple Pie

Sauternes is a sweet dessert wine from France, prized for its complexity and depth of flavor. Adding it to the apples in this pie makes perfect sense; since chefs often add a little cider vinegar to the crust to help keep it tender, the Sauternes helps do the same thing while adding a great flavor note.
