Ingredients
Pie
- 2 prepared pie crusts
- 8 cups diced apples , peeled with a 1/2-inch dice (about 8 apples)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For Finishing
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare your homemade pie dough or store-bought pie crust to the stage where it is ready to roll out. Refrigerate raw crusts or dough until ready to roll out. Preheat ovento 400 °F
- In a large mixing bowl, toss 8 cups diced apples with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Mix until well combined and set aside.
- Remove one of the prepared pie crusts or dough from refrigerator and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out into a large 12-inch circle, rolling from the center each time to keep the thickness even.
- Gently transfer crust to an un-greased deep dish pie plate, allowing the crust to hang over the edges Use a large slotted spoon to scoop the apple filling into the pie, leaving out any excess juices.
- Remove your remaining prepared pie crust or dough from refrigerator and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 13x10-inch rectangle. Cut into 8 even strips.
- Arrange 4 of the lattice strips on top of the filled pie, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Weave the remaining strips perpendicular, lifting every other piece to create a lattice. Trim excess dough around the plate. Use your fingers to crimp the edges to seal the dough together.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the crust lattice crust and edges with egg. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon granulated sugar evenly over the egg-washed crust. Place pie on a baking sheet to catch any spillage during baking.
- Bake at 400℉ (200℃) for 25 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375 degrees (190℃) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, until crust is a deep golden brown.
- Remove from oven and transfer pie to a wire rack to cool. Serve either warm, or completely cooled, depending on personal preference.
Notes
- Common varieties of apples that are great for baking include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, Braeburn, Jonathan, Jonagold, Fuji, and Pink Lady. Using a mix of these varieties is also a great option!
- Be sure to use a deep dish pie plate for this recipe. If using a standard pie plate, you'll only need about 5 cups of the apple filling rather than 8.
