  (for sprinkling on crust).
• 7 medium granny smith apples, peeled and sliced.
• 3 tbsp cannabutter or cannabis-infused coconut oil.

Tools:

• Large mixing bowl.
• Medium saucepan
  (for melting cannabutter).
• Pastry cutter (or fork, if making crust).
• Rolling pin.

💡 Quick Reminder: If you bought a pre-made crust, skip to step 2 (Making the filling).

1. Prepare the Crust: Start by whisking together the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually incorporate the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together.

Once the dough is ready, divide it into two equal discs. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the dough firm up and makes it easier to roll out later.

2. Make the Filling: Peel and slice the apples, then toss them in a large mixing bowl with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves if using. Add the lemon juice to keep the apples from browning and to enhance their flavor.

Melt the cannabutter or cannabis-infused coconut oil in a small saucepan or microwave. Drizzle it over the apple mixture and stir until the apples are evenly coated with the infused butter and spices.

3. Roll Out the Crust: Take one of the chilled dough discs (or your store-bought crust) and roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 12 inches in diameter. Gently transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the apple filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly. Roll out the second dough disc or unroll your store-bought crust. Place it over the filling, then trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Brush the crust with beaten egg for a golden finish, and sprinkle with a little granulated sugar if desired.

💡 Pro Tip: For a decorative touch, cut the top crust into strips and create a lattice pattern. You can also use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on top of the pie.

5. Bake the Pie: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake the pie in the center of the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

💡 Pro Tip: If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie crust shield to prevent burning.

6. Let it Cool: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. This cooling period allows the filling to set properly.

Tips For Better Canna Apple Pie

The following tips will guide you in the preparation of a delicious and balanced cannabis apple pie, ensuring that you achieve the best possible results while also having a responsible and enjoyable culinary experience.

• Choose the Right Apples: Granny Smith apples are ideal for their tartness and ability to hold shape. You can mix them with sweeter varieties like Honeycrisp for added flavor depth.
  
  
• Prevent Soggy Bottoms: Blind bake your crust for 10–12 minutes if you prefer extra crispiness before adding the filling.
  
  
• Don’t Skip the Cooling Time: Cooling allows the pie to set properly and ensures the cannabis infusion is evenly distributed.
  
  
• Use a Pie Shield: Protect the edges of your crust with aluminum foil or a pie shield to prevent over-browning during baking.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

I knnow that baking a marijuana apple pie can be tricky, sometimes the dough gets too tough, or the crust just won’t behave, don’t worry, it happens! These little hiccups are easy to fix, and i got your back with some fun tips to help smooth things out:

Filling is Too Watery

If your filling is too watery, try adding an extra tablespoon of flour or cornstarch. Cooking the filling slightly longer on the stovetop can also help thicken it.

Dough Cracking While Rolling

Ensure your dough is cold but not too stiff. Let it rest at room temperature for a few minutes before rolling.

Pie Not Setting

Make sure the pie cools completely for at least two hours before cutting. This gives the filling time to set properly.
