This is the perfect classic apple pie recipe, with an easy-to-make, ultra-flaky crust adapted from Serious Eats, and the perfect filling. I've been making pies for many years now and my brother has always been happy to taste test in my search to find the best crust and filling recipes. This year at Thanksgiving we both agreed that the search was over! (For the Holiday Recipe Swap.)
