Ingredients
- 2 Whole pie crusts, packaged
- 6 Large apples, peeled
- 0.75 Cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) all-purpose flour
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground
- 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) nutmeg, ground
- 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
- 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, divided
- 1 Large egg, whisked
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the edges if necessary.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the top with butter, divided into small pieces.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the apple filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the whisked egg to give it a golden color when baked.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy your classic apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
