There’s nothing like apple pie to lift your spirits. This is the ultimate treat, especially on a cool day. Your favorite home designer, Joanna Gaines, has just the apple pie recipe to warm your tummy and satisfy your taste buds.

Gaines’ apple pie recipe from Magnolia Table is sure to meet your expectations. If you’re worried about baking a mushy pie because of the liquid apples tend to produce when baked, don’t worry. Gaines says the best way to combat this is to cook your apples on the stove top before placing them in the pie shell. In her book, Gaines says this method results in “fragrant, perfectly cooked apples.” Here’s Joanna Gaines’ dulce de leche apple pie recipe.
