Ingredients
3 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 ready-made pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and gently press it into the bottom and sides.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it evenly.
Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
If using a top crust, place it over the apples and seal the edges. Cut a few small slits in the top for steam to escape.
Brush the crust with the beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
