Ingredients for the Pie Filling:

  • 6 cups of thinly sliced, peeled apples (such as Granny Smith)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Ingredients for the Pie Crust:

  • 2 pre-made pie crusts (or homemade if preferred)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
  3. Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish.
  4. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
  5. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the apples. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush it over the top crust.
  7. Use a knife to create a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Allow the pie to cool before serving. You can serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
