Easy Apple Pie
Easy Apple Pie combines sweet and tart apple slices tossed with sugar, lemon juice, and warm spices inside a two-crust pastry. A quarter-sized vent on top releases steam during baking, resulting in tender, flavorful filling and a golden, flaky crust. It requires some resting time after baking to set the filling, making it suitable for traditional dessert servings.

Notes
- Store leftover pie in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Using homemade pie crust is a fine substitute for premade dough.
- For a vegan version, brush the crust with drained pie juice or almond milk instead of egg wash.
