Maple Apple Pie

Bursting with juicy apples and sweetened with good old Canadian maple syrup.🍁No refined sugar here! 

Ingredients:

3 lbs firm apples (like Honeycrisp) peeled, cored and sliced 

3/4 cup robust Canadian maple syrup

1/4 tsp vanilla (or maple extract for an extra maple oomph!)

1/4 cup flour

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tsps cornstarch

1 tsp cinnamon

pinch of salt

pastry for double crust 9" pie

milk wash and a sprinkle of sugar, optional

Place a pizza stone (if you have one) on the bottom rack of the oven and lay a piece of parchment on top. Preheat to 425°F. Toss the apples, syrup, extract and lemon juice together. Then mix the flour, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt together and mix in. Have your pie dough ready. (My favourite recipe for dough is store-bought! 😉) Roll dough out to a 14" circle and place in a 9" deep pie plate. Wet the edge with a bit of water. Spoon the filling in and pile it high. Roll out another circle of pie dough to 13" around and transfer it to top the apples. Crimp edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top to vent and trim off any excess dough. If you like you can brush some milk on top and give the pie a sprinkle of sugar. Place in the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Bake 60-75 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.
