Mcdonalds Apple Pie Recipe

Anyone who’s always loved the classic McDonald’s apple pie will find this homemade version to be a treat!
This recipe captures that perfect balance of a crisp, golden crust and a gooey cinnamon apple filling.
To keep things simple, you’ll use store-bought pie crust to save time and effort.
Using fresh, sweet, and tart apples makes a significant difference in flavor.
Cooking the apple filling on the stovetop ensures that the apples are soft and coated in a thick, flavorful syrup.
Remember to seal the edges well using a fork to keep the filling inside while baking.

Ingredients
  
  • 2 cups Apples peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 package of Puff Pastry thawed
  • 1 Egg beaten for egg wash
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon for topping
Instructions
 
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add the chopped apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Stir the mixture and cook until the apples are soft and most of the juice is gone, which will take about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for another 30 seconds, then remove from heat and let the filling cool in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  • Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 8 squares. Spoon the cooled apple filling onto each square.
  • Brush the edges of the pastry squares with water, fold them over, and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  • Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and cut three small slits on each top for venting.
  • Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle the mixture over each pastry. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
