The traditional apple pie recipe is part of American cuisine, and it is a pie-like dessert with shortcrust pastry and lots of flavored apples with cinnamon, lemon, and ginger, which melt into a delicious and fragrant cream during cooking!
I had already made this cake in 2013, but the recipe strangely disappeared, but not the little photo which I leave below, and which I tasted with a nice dollop of whipped cream that I swear was perfect!!!!!!
I preferred to speed up the preparation and bought the shortcrust pastry in the store, but if you have time and feel like it, I leave you the recipe to prepare it simply in your kitchens right below.

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE TRADITIONAL APPLE PIE RECIPE
https://blog.giallozafferano.it/asilannablu/pasta-brise-ricetta-di-base/ but very simply, just mix 200 g of flour with 70 g cold water and 100 g butter and then let the dough rest in the fridge before using it for the American apple pie.
I wash, peel, core the apples, and cut them into small pieces.
I put them in a bowl, adding the lemon zest and juice, cinnamon, ginger, melted butter, cornstarch, and flour.
I mix well and let it marinate for about ten minutes.
After marinating, I sautéed this apple mixture for a few minutes over medium heat, but it’s my personal idea to put them in the pan for a few minutes, it’s optional!
I spread the first layer of shortcrust pastry on the baking pan lined with parchment paper, poking it at the bottom with a fork.
Then I pour the apples with all the other ingredients, level them out, and cover with the second shortcrust pastry dough, folding the outer edges, then removing the excess dough and sealing the American apple pie well.
With a knife or a sharp cutter, I make some slits on the dough… maybe I killed the shortcrust!
Now bake at 347°F (175°C) for about 45/50 minutes or depending on the characteristics of our home oven.
Once cooked, I let it cool completely, and then I take the American traditional apple pie recipe out of the oven and dive into it!!!!!!!!!!

WELL WELL… as always, I’m clear both inside and outside the blog! This apple pie recipe I took from Cooking Well February 2025, and I followed it to the letter, apart from the shortcrust pastry shell bought at the supermarket.
In this apple pie recipe, the apples are also mixed with cornstarch and flour, surely to create a sauce, a cream, which for me is perhaps excessive!
Personally, I would use less of these ingredients, but I leave you the possibility to experiment and then adjust according to your personal taste; for example, my son loved the cream that forms, so hooray for diversity!
