Old-Fashioned Apple Pie
Baker AJ Perry uses a combination of sweet and tart apples for this double-crust pie. Perry starts the pie at a high oven temperature, so the pastry sets before the filling softens, creating a beautiful domed crust. This is a purists' pie that tastes of nothing but apples, with just a hint of spice and butter.

Deep-Dish All-American Cinnamon Apple Pie
This pie — one of our 40 best recipes — gets its intensely apple-y flavor from macerating the apples in sugar for an hour. The liquid drained from the apples is simmered with a hit of butter until a syrup forms. That rich syrup is mixed with the apples, piled into the crust, and baked until tender and delicious.
