Pyrex Glass Bakeware Pie Plate 9" x 1.2"
Ingredients
2
pie crusts
homemade or store-bought
4-5
medium apples
cored and sliced thin
¼
cup
granulated sugar
¼
cup
light brown sugar
packed
3
Tablespoons
all-purpose flour
1
Tablespoon
lemon juice
2
teaspoons
ground cinnamon
⅛
teaspoon
nutmeg
2
Tablespoons
unsalted butter
cut into small pieces
1
large egg
for egg wash
1
Tablespoon
water
for egg wash
1
Tablespoon
coarse sugar
optional, for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Place sliced apples into a large bowl. Add sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss well to combine. Set aside for a few minutes.
Make the egg wash in a small bowl by whisking the egg with water. Set aside.
Roll out pie crust dough and place in a pie plate, trim edges if desired. Carefully pour the apple mixture into the uncooked pie shell.
Place dabs of butter around the top of the apples.
Place the second pie crust over the top and trim edges, crimping first to seal them together.
Brush the top of the pie crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Place pie on a baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake for 35-40 minutes more.
Allow pie to cool before slicing.
Notes
To prevent over baking or burning of crust, wrap edge of crust in foil for second part of baking (or use pie crust shields).
I use a standard size pie plate (not deep dish) for this recipe.
The best apples for apple pie are firm and tart- like Granny Smith
I don't peel my apples, it's an extra step I don't find necessary. You can certainly peel if you prefer.
Allow pie to cool before slicing, this will ensure the filling doesn't ooze.
