Ingredients: – 6-8 medium-sized apples (peeled, cored, and sliced) – 1/2 cup granulated sugar – 1/4 cup brown sugar – 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour – 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg – 1/4 teaspoon salt – 1 tablespoon lemon juice – 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
1. Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. 2. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot the top of the apples with the pieces of butter.
1. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the apples. You can create a lattice crust or simply place it over the top, cutting slits for ventilation. 2. Trim and crimp the edges of the pie crusts together to seal the pie.
1. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with additional sugar for a golden crust. 2. Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Once baked, allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade apple pie!
