Ingredients
  

For the Pie Filling
  • 5 cups sliced apples Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for a well-rounded flavor.
  • ½ cup sugar Adjust the sweetness based on your apple variety.
  • 1 tablespoon black sugar Adds a spooky touch when sprinkled on top before baking.
For the Pie Crust
Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon A classic spice that enhances the flavor profile of the apples.
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg Adds warmth and depth; perfect for fall desserts.
Optional Toppings
  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream For serving, this contrast to the warm pie brings the flavors together beautifully.

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a homemade pie crust, roll it out and place it into a 9-inch pie dish carefully. Trim the edges and crimp them for a decorative finish. If using a store-bought crust, fit it into the dish and proceed to the filling.
  2. Next, wash and peel the apples before slicing them into thin wedges. Aim for about ¼-inch thickness. Place the sliced apples in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with ½ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of nutmeg. Toss gently to coat the apples.
  3. Transfer the sweetened apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, distributing it evenly. Create a mounded effect in the center. Once filled, sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon of black sugar.
  4. Place the pie directly in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Afterward, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue to bake for an additional 35–40 minutes.
  5. Once baked, remove the Poison Apple Pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
