Equipment

  • 9.5" pie plate
  • Vegetable peeler
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush
  • Pie shield

Ingredients

  • 10 whole Granny Smith apples cored, and cut into wedges
  • 14.1 ounces pre-made pie crusts One box (2 crusts)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 tbsps. butter cubed
  • 1 egg whisked

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Line the bottom of your pie plate with one crust. Be sure to spread it out and then gently pinch the edges to crimp; set aside.
  • Peel, slice apples almost to the core, and then slice them in thin slices. You do not want them thick or too chunky because they will not bake properly.
  • Add apple slices to a large mixing bowl and toss with flour, both sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice; combine.
  • Carefully pour spiced apples over the bottom pie crust and spray them out evenly. They will look pretty high.
  • Add butter cubes around the top layer of the pie.
  • Unwrap the pie top crust and carefully cover the pie. Pinch pie edges to crimp and seal the pie.
  • Brush on the mixed egg wash on all surfaces of the top pie. You will not use the whole egg.
  • Using a BBQ skewer, poke 4 holes in your pie center for venting. You can also make 4 slits with a knife.
  • Bake pie for 45 minutes with a pie shield to prevent the crust edges from over-browning.
  • Allow pie to cool for at least 3 hours before cutting into it. Do not cover the pie when warm or the crust will get soggy. Only cover it once the pie is 100% cooled.
