Ingredients

  • 6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples (6 medium)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pastry for double pie crust

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. 
  • Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom crust; trim crust even with edge.  Set aside while you prepare the filling. 
  • Add the apples and the remaining ingredients to a bowl and mix to combine.
  • Add the apple mixture into the crust-lined pie plate.
  • Roll out the second pie crust and place on top of the apple mixture. 
  • Press the edges of both pie crust together to seal and crimp the edges. Cut slits in several places in top crust.
  • Brush the top of the pie with an egg wash and sprinkle with additional sugar.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown. You can cover the edge of the crust with 2- to 3-inch wide strips of foil after the first 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Cool on cooling rack before serving.
