Special ingredient: Brown Sugar
Brown sugar really brings out the earthy sweetness of the apples in this apple pie recipe. Made with minimal ingredients, this apple pie shines thanks to the molasses found in brown sugar. This recipe calls for light brown sugar but dark brown sugar can work as well, producing a richer flavor that permeates deep into the apples.
