Ingredients
- 1 double pie crust
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- 6 to 7 cups sliced apples (about 2 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
-
Peel the apples and cut them into quarters. Remove the core and slice the apples ¼-inch thick.
-
In a large bowl, combine the apple slices with lemon juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and toss well. Set aside.
-
Roll out half of the pastry dough into a 12-inch circle. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the dough and fill it with the apple mixture.
-
Roll out the remaining dough and cover the apple filling. Pinch the edges to seal, trimming any excess. Style the edges as desired by crimping or pressing with a fork.
-
Cut 4 to 5 slits on top of the crust to allow the steam to release. Whisk the egg with 2 teaspoons of water or milk and brush over the crust.
-
Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 35-40 minutes more, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
-
Remove from the oven and rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
