Ingredients
Scale
- 4 to 6 cups of sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 package (2 crusts) refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the apple filling by washing, peeling, and slicing the apples, then mixing them with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch.
- Roll out one pie crust into a baking pan, leaving excess dough over the edges.
- Pour the apple mixture into the crust and spread evenly.
- Place the second pie crust on top, trim excess dough, and crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
- Whisk egg and milk, brush over the crust, and bake for 45 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Adjust sugar based on your sweetness preference.
- Letting the pie cool helps the filling to set properly.
