Cooking Time: 75 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) cinnamon, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) nutmeg, ground
• 1 Pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
• 5 Medium apples, peeled
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) maple syrup
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) all-purpose flour (optional)
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) unsalted butter
• 1 Large egg, whisked
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) coarse sugar

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the white sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. If desired, add the flour to this mixture for a thicker filling. Set aside.
3. Roll out one pastry and press it into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan.
4. In a large bowl, toss the peeled apples with the maple syrup and vanilla extract until evenly coated.
5. Layer 1/3 of the apple mixture into the pie crust and sprinkle with a portion of the sugar-spice mixture. Repeat the layering process with the remaining apples and sugar mixture.
6. Dot the top layer of apples with small pieces of butter.
7. Roll out the second pastry and place it over the apples. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
8. Brush the top crust with the whisked egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden, sparkling finish.
9. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
11. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the filling set.
