This is simply the best Country Apple Pie recipe, it's a sweet apple pie recipe that is incredibly easy to whip together with very few ingredients. In fact, I was surprised when I first learned how easy it is to make, a simple apple pie recipe for children especially, if you want to involve the family!
Just a few ingredients, I like to use the refrigerated pie crusts you can buy from the store - they're very convenient and taste great!

Recipe walkthrough: Instructions
This is an overview of the recipe steps. For more detailed instructions visit the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Step 1: Lay the first pie crust into a 9" Pie Dish. Brush with egg white and set aside.
- Step 2: Peel, core and slice the apples and put into a resealable bag with the flour, sugar and cinnamon and shake it up.
- Step 3: Add the apple slices and flour mixture (apple filling) to the pie dish on top of the pie crust, spread out evenly.
- Step 4: Take the second pie crust and roll it out on a floured work surface, cut into ½" strips and layer over the top of the apples. Weave the pie crust and brush with the remaining egg white.
- Step 5: Bake pie in a preheated oven for 45 minutes, remove and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
Hint: Make sure to roll out your bottom crust of pie dough and brush with egg before you get started on the filling, that way it has time to dry! This will help prevent the bottom pie crust from getting soggy.

Recipe variations and substitute ideas
- Apples - there are so many apple varieties out there, I like to use Golden Delicious or Gala apples but you could use granny smith apples, cortland apples, honey crisp or any other that you prefer.
- Pie Crust - if you prefer to make your own pie crust this recipe will still work well with a homemade pie crust.
- Nutmeg - add a pinch of nutmeg for another flavor dimension.
- Lemon Juice - Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the apples if you like to cut the sweetness.
- Brown Sugar - Brown sugar can be used in place of the granulated sugar, but it adds a different texture due to the molasses.

Necessary gear: Equipment
All you need is a 9-inch pie plate and a resealable bag.
If you don't have a resealable bag feel free to mix in a large bowl. I just like to avoid the cleanup if I can.
How to store leftovers
Cover the apple pie with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Mel's kitchen notes
Place a piece of foil over the top crust for the first 10 minutes to avoid overcooking the crust.
Use any excess dough and create a cute little decoration on top (e.g. leaves).
