Apple Cinnamon Pie

Apple cinnamon pie is one of those recipes that barely changes from one generation to the next — not because no one’s tried to improve it, but because the balance is already right where it should be. A buttery shortcrust holds its shape while staying tender, and a cinnamon-spiced apple filling fills the kitchen with an unmistakable autumn smell well before the pie even comes out of the oven.

For the filling, firmer apples with a good amount of tartness work best — they hold their shape during baking instead of collapsing into mush, and they give the filling the right balance of sweet and tangy. If the apples on hand are very sweet, a bit of extra lemon juice helps keep the overall flavor from turning cloying.
