Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium (peeled, cored, and sliced) Apples
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons (cut into small cubes) Unsalted butter
- 2 9-inch rounds (homemade or store-bought) Prepared pie crust
- 1 large (for egg wash) Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a baking sheet on the middle rack to catch any drips during baking.
Prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
Add the honey, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the apple slices. Mix gently with a spatula until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.
Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges, leaving about 1 inch hanging over the sides.
Spoon the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the top of the apples with the cubed butter.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and tuck the edges of the top crust under the edge of the bottom crust, pinching to seal. Crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork for a decorative finish.
Cut 4-5 small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust evenly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
