Ingredients

• 6 medium Granny Smith apples
• 3 large Hatch green chiles (roasted, peeled, and diced)
• 0.75 cup Sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 2 9-inch rounds Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the diced Hatch green chiles, sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, all-purpose flour, and lime juice to the bowl. Toss everything together until the apples are well-coated in the mixture.

Step 4

Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lining it with one round of the pie crust, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.

Step 5

Fill the crust with the apple and green chile mixture, spreading it out evenly. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.

Step 6

Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges together to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. This cooling time allows the filling to set.

Step 10

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