Ingredients
- 6 large apples peeled and sliced
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 pie crusts top and bottom
- 1 egg for brushing
Instructions
Prepare the Apples
- Peel and slice apples. Make thin slices so they cook fast and become soft inside the pie.
Mix the Filling
- Add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour and lemon juice. Mix until apples are coated well.
Roll the Crust
- Roll out the bottom crust. Place it in the pie dish. Press gently so it fits well.
Add the Filling
- Pour the apple filling into the crust. Spread evenly so the pie bakes evenly throughout.
Add the Butter
- Cut the butter into small cubes. Place them on top of the apple mix before covering.
Cover With Top Crust
- Place the second crust on top. Seal edges with your fingers. Make small slits for steam.
Brush the Top
- Brush the top with beaten egg. This gives the pie a shiny, golden crust after baking.
Bake the Pie
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50 minutes. Remove when the crust is golden and apples are soft.
Cool Before Serving
- Let the pie cool for a while. This helps the filling set and makes slices neat and clean.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith.
- Slice apples evenly for even cooking.
- Add lemon juice to balance sweetness.
- Do not skip slits on the top crust.
- Let the pie cool before cutting.
