Ingredients:
- 6 cups of peeled, cored, and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith)
- 3/4 cup of white sugar
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 pre-made or homemade pie crust (for the bottom)
- 1 pre-made or homemade pie crust (for the top)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (for topping)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir until the apples are coated evenly.
3. Line a 9-inch pie dish with the bottom pie crust. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edge of the dish.
4. Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
5. Roll out the top pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges of the crust to seal the pie.
6. Use a sharp knife to make a few slits on the top crust to vent steam.
7. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar for a golden finish.
8. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
9. Allow the apple pie to cool before serving. Enjoy a slice on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
This homemade apple pie is sure to be a crowd-pleaser and a comforting treat for any occasion. Enjoy!
