Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 2 1/2 pounds (about 6 cups) Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
For the Crust:
- 1 package (14 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade double crust)
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss well to coat.
- Assemble the Pie: Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Fill the crust with the apple mixture and dot the filling with butter pieces. Place the second crust over the filling, trim excess dough, and crimp the edges to seal.
- Bake: Cut slits in the top crust, brush with egg wash, sprinkle with coarse sugar, and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Enhance the flavor with vanilla extract or raisins in the filling.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
