If you have any additional questions comment below and we will do our best to answer your questions! What is the Best Apple for a Pie? The best apples for apple pie are ones that are firm and will hold their shape when they bake. In terms of flavor, some people like pies made with tart apples like Granny Smith and others like sweet apples like Golden Delicious or Pink Lady. For this apple pie I’m sharing, I actually prefer the tart apples because they complement the sweet crumble topping. You can also do a mix of sweet and tart apples, too! How Many Apples are Needed for a Pie? This is a deep-dish apple pie, so you will need approximately 2 pounds of apples. Once you thinly slice them you should have approximately 5 and 1/2 cups of sliced apples. How Many Cups is a Sliced Apple? It depends on the size of your apples. So, if you use large apples you should get approximately 2 1/2 cups sliced apples per apple. A medium-sized apple will give you approximately 1 1/3 cup sliced apples. Should I use quick or rolled oats in the crumb topping? You will need quick oats for the crumb topping. Quick oats cook a lot faster than rolled oats. How long does Apple Pie last? Homemade apple pie will keep at room temperature up to two days. If you keep it in the refrigerator it will last up to four to five days. How do I store leftover Apple Pie? Whether you store it at room temperature or in the refrigerator, be sure to loosely cover the apple pie with plastic wrap or foil.
