Recipes Desserts Pies Apple Pie Recipes Mile-High Apple Pie 4.8 (59) 46 Reviews 18 Photos If you've ever prayed for an apple pie recipe with a substantial, luscious, juicy apple filling, but without a flood of juice when you cut it, then this tall, majestic mile-high apple pie creation is for you. Potato starch keeps the filling inside the pie where it belongs, but without the chalky, pasty texture often caused by using flour. The juices here are thick and clear, without that thick, sticky supermarket feel. They coat the apple slices lightly and beautifully with no soupiness.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings 8 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/8-inch slices 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice ¾ cup white sugar 3 tablespoons potato starch 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces 1 recipe pastry for a 10-inch double crust pie 2 teaspoons milk 1 tablespoon white sugar Directions Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Position an oven rack in the lower part of the oven; place a baking stone on it. Toss apples with lemon juice in a large bowl; set aside. Stir 3/4 cup sugar, potato starch, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a separate bowl; set aside. Divide pastry dough in half. Roll 1 dough half out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 10-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate. Pile 1/2 apples into crust, dot with 1/2 butter pieces, and sprinkle with 1/2 potato starch mixture. Pile remaining 1/2 apples on top, dot with remaining 1/2 butter pieces, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 potato starch mixture. Roll out remaining 1 dough half; carefully place over apples. Pinch and crimp edges to seal crusts. Poke a few holes in top crust using a fork. Brush top crust with milk; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Place on the baking stone in the preheated oven; immediately reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until crust is golden brown, about 60 minutes, checking halfway through baking time, covering edges with aluminum foil if needed to prevent over-browning during the last 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 3 hours before serving. I Made It Print 92 home cooks made it!
