Pie is my all time favorite dessert, so I'm happy to be sharing this amazing and homemade Honeycrisp Apple Pie with you today!

Don't be intimidated, this pie is easier to make than it looks. It does have a few steps and takes some time, but it's so worth it! The apple filling has so much flavor from the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. It's sweet and delicious, plus the apples are perfectly cooked through.

This Honeycrisp pie is perfect for the holidays, especially Thanksgiving. It's also great for an autumn Sunday dinner. We're in Minnesota and love visiting a local apple orchard every fall. We always make an apple dessert or two with the apples we purchase. This pie is certainly great for that.

If you're obsessed with all things apple like I am, then try this Apple Cider Float, Applesauce Fritters or Old Fashioned Apple Cake!

Recipe tips and substitution ideas:

• Feel free to use store bought crust if homemade isn't your thing! It's definitely a time saver and the filling is the best part anyway.

• Cold butter and cold water are huge in this recipe. Please don't skip those details if you want the crust to turn out correctly. 

• Any apple works great in this recipe. We often use a variety, depending on what we have on hand.

Honeycrisp Apple Pie

Ingredients

• For the Pie Dough:
• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 6-8 tablespoons ice cold water
• For the Apple Filling:
• 6-7 medium-sized Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• For the Topping:
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

1. For the Pie Dough:
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Mix with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
5. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape each portion into a ball, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
6. Remove one portion of the chilled dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle large enough to fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish, pressing it gently against the bottom and sides.
8. For the Filling:
9. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
10. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
11. In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix well.
12. Add the sugar mixture to the sliced apples and toss until the apples are evenly coated.
13. Assemble the Pie:
14. Pour the apple filling into the prepared bottom crust, mounding it slightly in the center.
15. Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of unsalted butter.
16. Roll out the second portion of chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle slightly larger than the pie dish.
17. Carefully place the rolled-out dough over the filling. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges, leaving about a 1-inch overhang.
18. Fold the overhang of the top crust under the edge of the bottom crust, then crimp the edges using your fingers or a fork to seal the pie.
19. Use a sharp knife to create several small slits or decorative vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
20. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg, then sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar for a golden finish.
21. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling and thickened.
22. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
23. Serve the apple pie warm or at room temperature. It is great topped with ice cream or whipped cream!
