Ultimate Apple Pie Recipe
Apple pie is obviously our families favorite to eat. Here, we've made the iconic comfort food even better with a combo of sweet and tart apples, plus our technique for a perfectly domed crust every time. This recipe is perfect for fall, but even better on Thanksgiving. We have shared our award winning apple pie recipe for many years. It's always a big hit with our family and once you make this apple pie, you will be requested to make it every year. It's the perfect blend of tart and sweet apples and crust that practically melts in your mouth, which makes this such a stand out apple pie recipe.
Don't forget to serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Any way you slice it, it’s delicious!!

Celebrating 80 Years Of Family Farming
Since 1945, our family-run farm has been a labor of love, and in 2025, we will proudly celebrate 80 years of cultivating our land. From planting seeds to harvesting crops and selling our produce at the local farmers market, every member of our family plays a vital role in the day-to-day operations. This deep-rooted commitment to farming not only connects us to the land but also to our community, as we share the fruits of our labor with those around us.
At Prevedelli Farms, we take pride in growing over 45 different varieties of organic apples, including a selection of heirloom and unique newer types that you won’t find in your typical grocery store. Our offerings extend beyond apples; we also cultivate 15 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, 6 types of sweet peppers, and 10 different kinds of organic European and Asian pears. Additionally, we grow 5 varieties of organic cane berries, a diverse range of organic plums, organic persimmons, and organic citrus fruits. Our commitment to variety ensures that there’s always something fresh and exciting for our customers to enjoy.
What truly sets us apart is our dedication to hand-harvesting all of our fruits and vegetables. We believe that picking at peak ripeness is essential for achieving the fullest flavor, which is why we take the time to carefully select each piece of produce. Our farm is not just about quantity; it’s about quality and the personal touch that comes from a family-run operation. We invite you to experience the difference that comes from our passion for organic farming and the care we put into every harvest.
