Ingredients

Scale

1 package (2 crusts) refrigerated pie dough

6–7 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or both), peeled and sliced

¾ cup granulated sugar

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.

In a large bowl, toss apple slices with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.

Pour apple mixture into the crust and dot with butter.

Place the second crust on top (whole or lattice), seal and crimp edges. Cut small slits if using a whole crust.

Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake another 35–40 minutes, until golden and bubbling.

Let cool at least 2 hours before slicing.
