Ingredients
- 2 9-inch pie crusts
- 6 cups thinly sliced apples about 6 medium apples
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 large egg beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a 9-inch pie dish with one of the pie crusts.
- In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until the apples are well coated.
- Transfer the apple mixture into the pie crust-lined dish. Place the second pie crust over the filling, trim the excess, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
