Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe for double pie crust
- 6 cups thinly sliced apples (about 6 medium apples)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 3/4 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot the top with the small pieces of butter.
- Roll out the second disk of pie dough into an 11-inch circle. Place it over the apple filling. Trim the edges, leaving about a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold the top crust edge under the bottom crust edge and crimp them together. Cut several vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use a mix of apple varieties like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji.
- Ensure your apples are sliced thinly and uniformly for even cooking.
- Allowing the pie to cool completely is crucial for the filling to thicken and set, preventing a runny pie.
