Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Kahlua liqueur
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until the apples are evenly coated.
Pour the Kahlua over the apple mixture and stir well to combine. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Unroll one pie crust and lay it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently to fit it snugly into the dish.
Spoon the apple mixture evenly into the crust, creating a slightly mounded center.
Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter them over the apples.
Unroll the second pie crust and lay it over the apples. Trim the excess dough, leaving about a 1-inch overhang. Tuck the edges of the top crust under the bottom crust and crimp to seal.
Use a sharp knife to cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust and edges of the pie.
Sprinkle the top of the pie with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar for added sweetness and crunch.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 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.
Slice and serve the pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
