Everyone likes apple pie. Sweet baked cinnamon apple, flaky crust, buttery filling … I knew that Bunner’s apple pie had a longstanding tradition to live up to, and this recipe can stand crust to crust with the very best.
I like to use Honeycrisp apples because they’re firm, tart, and sweet critical for a great apple pie. That said, you could use any of your favourite pie-making apples. Granny Smith and Pink Lady work well too. Whichever variety you use, I highly recommend organic apples. Apples are one of the heaviest-sprayed fruit crops (along with other soft-skinned fruit like berries and peaches), but you can easily avoid all those harsh chemicals and get the full nutritional benefit of this healthy fruit. Organic apples straight-up taste better, too.
