Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Press your piecrust into a 10-inch pie pan if it isn't already in one. Bake for 5-8 minutes, set aside.

Place walnuts in a large skillet and stir over medium-high heat 3-4 minutes until nicely toasted (careful not to burn them though). Set aside.

In a large bowl toss sliced apples with flour to coat. Whisk together brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir in walnuts.

Layer half of the apples in the pie crust. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture over the apples. Top with remaining apples, then with remaining brown sugar mixture.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until apples are tender and very easily pierced with a fork. Serve warm as-is, or with vanilla ice cream.


This brown sugar walnut apple pie in a flaky, buttery crust, with two varieties of apples, brown sugar, spices, and toasted walnuts makes the perfect easy holiday pie.
