Ingredients

  • 2 Ready made Pie Crusts at room temperature
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • dash of salt
  • 8 medium apples thinly sliced and peeled
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp milk or water

Instructions

  1. Preheat to an oven temperature of 400 degrees, lower your oven rack and place a baking sheet on it.

  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with both sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Let sit for 10–15 minutes so the juices start to release.

  3. Roll out one dough disk and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate.

  4. Fill with the apple mixture and dot the top with pieces of butter.

  5. Roll out the second disk and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

  6. If using, brush the top crust with egg wash. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Cover the edges with foil if they begin to brown too quickly.

  7. Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
