Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) apples
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 rounds store-bought pie crusts
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
Add the apple slices to the sugar-spice mixture, tossing until the apples are evenly coated.
Place one of the pie crusts into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently to fit snugly.
Pour the apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Trim any excess dough, then crimp the edges together to seal the pie.
Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the mixture over the top crust for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any overflow, then bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
