Ingredients

• 6 medium Granny Smith apples
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 9-inch rounds Refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In the bowl, toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Mix until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 4

Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, letting the edges hang over slightly.

Step 5

Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it evenly. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.

Step 6

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the apple filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the crusts together.

Step 7

Cut a few small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust to give it a golden, shiny finish.

Step 9

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 bubbling.

Step 10

If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the filling to set.

Step 12

Slice and serve your Green Apple Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired!
