For a homemade crust, mix flour, salt, and butter, then add water to form a dough.
To prepare the best apple pie, opt for good and fresh apples.
Peel the apples and cut them into thin, even slices.
In large bowl, toss your apple slices with sugar, cinnamon and a dash of lemon juice.
Pile the spiced apples into the prepared crust.
Dot the top of the apple mixture with small pieces of butter to add richness and help the filling cook evenly.
Bake your apple pie at 375°F (190°C) for about 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
