Ingredients
- 2 pie crust homemade or store-bought
- 4-5 apple cored and sliced thin, medium
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 Tablespoons butter cut into small pieces, unsalted
- 1 egg for egg wash, large
- 1 Tablespoon water for egg wash
- 1 Tablespoon sugar optional, for topping, coarse
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place sliced apples into a large bowl. Add sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss well to combine. Set aside for a few minutes.
- Make the egg wash in a small bowl by whisking the egg with water. Set aside.
- Roll out pie crust dough and place in a pie plate, trim edges if desired. Carefully pour the apple mixture into the uncooked pie shell.
- Place dabs of butter around the top of the apples.
- Place the second pie crust over the top and trim edges, crimping first to seal them together.
- Brush the top of the pie crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Place pie on a baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake for 35-40 minutes more.
- Allow pie to cool before slicing.

Notes
- To prevent over baking or burning of crust, wrap edge of crust in foil for second part of baking (or use pie crust shields).
- I use a standard size pie plate (not deep dish) for this recipe.
- The best apples for apple pie are firm and tart- like Granny Smith
- I don't peel my apples, it's an extra step I don't find necessary. You can certainly peel if you prefer.
- Allow pie to cool before slicing, this will ensure the filling doesn't ooze.
