How many apples for apple pie?

5 Answers. It’s not an exact science, as apples come are available in different sizes as are pies.

For a 8″ pie, 6–8 depending on size. read more

Just remember: 2 to 2 1/2 cups chopped or sliced apples is equivalent to 3 medium apples, or about 1 pound. 3 medium apples is roughly equivalent to 2 large apples or 4 small apples. read more
