Ingredients

• 6 medium (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) apples
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 rounds store-bought pie crusts
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.

Step 4

Add the apple slices to the sugar-spice mixture, tossing until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 5

Place one of the pie crusts into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently to fit snugly.

Step 6

Pour the apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.

Step 8

Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Trim any excess dough, then crimp the edges together to seal the pie.

Step 9

Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the mixture over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any overflow, then bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 12

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 13

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
