The Best Apple Pie With Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person
I love an elaborate dessert on occasion, but after lots of trial and error, I’ve learned over time that when it comes to apple pie, simplest is always preferable. For Thanksgiving, what I want underneath a scoop of vanilla ice cream is a slice of buttery, cinnamony pie that tastes of apples and features a variety of textures. This pie, with an oat crumble topping rather than a top crust of lattice, checks all of those boxes.

Apple Pie! The Most Classic American Dessert – One of The Greatest Desserts of All Time! Do you agree? Let me know!
I refuse to put oats in my crumb topping it sucks, tried it, NOPE
How long do you leave it in the oven for ffs
If I wanted to do the double crust with this recipe what would the baking directions be?
I hope the fox leaves the chickens alone. Maybe the cow will scare it away.
Ahhh – I am just after using apple cider vinegar instead of apple cider! Let’s hope it still turns out okay 🤞
Not an American dessert…
Amazing video !! Recipe looks delicious!!
This recipe isn’t in her book right?
Regarding apple scraps : when making apple pie, I like to boil them in some water in order to extract as much pectin, sugar and flavour as possible.
Once everything has completely collapsed, I strain and return the liquid to the rinsed out pan and simmer until think and viscous.
I add the liquid to the sliced apples and slightly reduce the amount of corn starch I use.
The filling is more more luscious and silky when I do that, and less stodgy or gloopy.
Yuuuummm! I would love to see Claire's version of a raspberry blackberry pie!!!❤
Apple skins are good for you. They have prebiotics in them that feed your probiotics to enable them to yield health benefits to you!!
😊 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆😊
Get shot of the vinegar. That revolting substance has no place anywhere – but if it did, then it would never be for something sweet. insofar as there is the need to introduce a sour element, then the starch does this for you. I'm from the former Soviet Union and as I grew up, we made delicious apple pie and apple crumble many times with natural local ingredients, and never did any type of vinegar star in a featured role. Believe you me, NOTHING you've tried in the US or the west compares to what we produced in my grandparents' village in western Ukraine!
I highly appreciate the ingredient list in the beginning ❤
3 dan 2 and 1 🎉🎊🌠🎇🎆🍾🥂Happiness New Year and lucky wish beautiful year 2024
Wait, apple cider is unfiltered apple juice? I thought it's alcoholic?
Your recipe sucks!!!!
If I bake the night before, how long should I reheat this before serving?
I made the apple pie this year for Thanksgiving and it was such a hit! The tartness was a nice contrast to all the very sweet desserts. I'm not a confident baker but your explanations make it very simple to follow. Thank you!!!
First time baking apple pie, and I am not a pie person nor am I experienced in baking, but WOW. I did really good thanks to Claire x Desert Person! Hubs is super enjoying this Thanksgiving and I am in the process of baking another pie for the in laws.
cant believe nobody made a mission im-pie-ssible joke at the beginning
No veg version?
I would trust claire with my life
Is this recipe in Dessert Person?
Whacking of the dough!
oh i love crumble toppings for pies. I also sometimes add some toasted seeds to the oat flakes (toasted sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds are delicious) and sometimes, if i want to add something more it would be toasted pecans broken in big pieces). a drizzle of maple syrup does also taste nice with apples that's delicious as a crumble topping! I will try your recipe! It looks amazing! thank you =)
Hi, this video is extremely helpful in making traditional apple pie I enjoyed this video however I've never tried and tasted an apple pie thanks for making this video
Could one use Calvados instead of the apple cider vinegar?
No "Blind" baking or "Docking"?
I see what you did with the window there 😅
Just made this over the weekend and wow! So delicious!
Just coming back to say I make this every year for my husband's Birthday (in September) and it's his favorite thing ever. 😘
Looks real good..though the classic American apple pie comes from England I think.
I am a HUGE Vinny fan!! Yaaaaaaaay
Do you serve this cooled in the fridge or room temp？
I created this pie for the second time for Fourth of July. The first time I did it, I couldn’t taste it because I lost my tastebuds after COVID. This second time, I appreciated all the flavor from the crust, crumble, and apples. It’s the best apple pie I have tasted. Thank you for creating recipes that showcase the fruit and don’t drench it with loads of sugar.
To much talking get to the point
