Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (2 crusts) Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove Pillsbury pie crusts from the box. Allow them to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes as instructed on the package.
Place one pie crust in a 9-inch glass pie dish, pressing it firmly against the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim any overhang, if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss the mixture until the apples are evenly coated.
Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust in the dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cut the butter into small pieces and dot it on top of the apple filling.
Place the second pie crust over the filling. Seal and flute the edges to secure both crusts together.
Use a sharp knife to cut slits into the top crust for ventilation during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden brown finish.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
If the edges of the crust start browning too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
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.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
