Ingredients

• 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples (a mix of sweet and tart varieties)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Toss until the apples are well coated.
3. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the apple mixture into the crust.
4. Roll out the second pie crust and create a lattice or a full crust for the top. Seal the edges and trim off any excess dough. Crimp the edges with a fork or your fingers.
5. Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
6. Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
