The Best Apple Pie With Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person
I love an elaborate dessert on occasion, but after lots of trial and error, I’ve learned over time that when it comes to apple pie, simplest is always preferable. For Thanksgiving, what I want underneath a scoop of vanilla ice cream is a slice of buttery, cinnamony pie that tastes of apples and features a variety of textures. This pie, with an oat crumble topping rather than a top crust of lattice, checks all of those boxes.

Apple Pie! The Most Classic American Dessert – One of The Greatest Desserts of All Time! Do you agree? Let me know!
Great…💖
This is how we solve the apple pie vs. apple crisp argument in our family
The editing deserves a prize!
Came here to thank the editors for their fantastic little jokes. Every single video makes me smile.
LOVE your recipes & videos, Claire! This channel became an immediate favorite in my rotation. Thank you for sharing your talents with us! 🙂
Please get the pail off the counter….
Such a clown.
The animals in the window had me trippin!!!! Hahahahah
ewww oats. I don't want granola on my apple pie or in my apple pie.
We ripped out a kitchen and used racks similar to yours for a few years until we got around to making the decisions. No rush.
So where is the recipe for the flaky pastry dough? I thought it would be linked along with the recipe?
I made this today and it is so so good! Love it better than the original pie crust top!!
Omg I just noticed the animals popping in and out of the window lol
The video specifies 1/2 cup brown sugar for crumble topping, the written recipe below specifies 1/3 cup……..hmmmmm.
Is it 1/2 cup brown sugar or 1/3 cup for the crumble? The description is different to what Claire says
Omg!! Definitely making this next time!! (made a pumpkin pie today) xD
Would it be possible to make this ahead of time and freeze it before baking it? Any suggestions for doing so?
This really is the best apple pie recipe. I can't wait to make it again for Thanksgiving!
Claire is the BEST! Her recipes and shows brought me so much joy throughout 2020. Glad to see she branched out on her own!
Have you ever added Calvados instead of vinegar?
Apple pie traditionally made with Bramley’s but I’m not sure you can get them in US right?
Love how she explains everything, I,m a "need to know why" person. Her pie crust video was a game changer !!!
I'm looking through all Claire's videos for one that shows her actually making the pie crust….
I just made this and I think this is the best apple pie I have ever had in my life. Claire you are a baking goddess ily for this. This pie makes me emotional 🥹🥹
The window is cracking me up
Claire,please teach us how to make apple butter and apple sauce!!!
Is there a way to make mini ones
I love noticing the faces on the inanimate objects, it makes me so happy
My madein pie plate just arrived and I'm making this very pie this weekend! Cannot wait 💖
To much talking get to the point
I created this pie for the second time for Fourth of July. The first time I did it, I couldn’t taste it because I lost my tastebuds after COVID. This second time, I appreciated all the flavor from the crust, crumble, and apples. It’s the best apple pie I have tasted. Thank you for creating recipes that showcase the fruit and don’t drench it with loads of sugar.
Do you serve this cooled in the fridge or room temp？
I am a HUGE Vinny fan!! Yaaaaaaaay
Looks real good..though the classic American apple pie comes from England I think.
Just coming back to say I make this every year for my husband's Birthday (in September) and it's his favorite thing ever. 😘
