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

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the edges if necessary.
3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
4. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the top with butter, divided into small pieces.
5. 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.
6. Brush the top crust with the whisked egg to give it a golden color when baked.
7. 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.
8. 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.
