To bake an apple pie, preheat the oven to 375°F. Place one oven rack in the lowest position and put a large rimmed baking sheet on it to catch any drippings from the pie. The baking time for an apple pie is typically around 50 to 60 minutes. However, the exact baking time may vary depending on the recipe and the oven. Here are some tips to help you determine when your apple pie is done:
- The crust should be golden brown.
- The filling should be bubbling around the edges.
- The internal temperature of the filling taken with an instant-read thermometer should be around 200°F (93°C) when done.
- You should notice the crust is golden brown but the temperature will register internally at 175F.
Its also a good idea to place a baking sheet under the pie to catch any juices that bubble over so they dont land on the bottom of your oven. If the top of the pie begins to brown too much before its fully cooked, tent it with foil. Let the pie cool for at least 3 full hours before slicing and serving.
