Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Peel, core, and thinly slice the green apples. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the roasted green chiles and add them to the bowl with the apples.
Add the brown sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and all-purpose flour to the bowl. Toss everything together until the apples and chiles are evenly coated.
Roll out one 9-inch pie crust and press it into a standard 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Pour the apple and chile filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Dot the filling with small pieces of unsalted butter.
Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim, fold, and crimp the edges to seal the pie. If desired, cut a few small slits in the top crust for ventilation.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the egg-washed crust.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Green Apple Green Chile Sweet & Hot Pie!
