Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients

2 lbs apples (Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, mixed)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

2 tbsp unsalted butter

1 egg (for egg wash)

1 tbsp milk

1 double pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2: Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Toss the apples in this mixture until they are thoroughly coated.

Step 4: Roll out one half of the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, letting the excess drape over the edges.

Step 5: Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, making sure to mound it slightly in the center. Dot with small pieces of butter.

Step 6: Roll out the second half of the pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim the excess crust, leaving about 1-inch overhang. Tuck the edges under and crimp with a fork or your fingers to seal.

Step 7: Whisk together the egg and milk, then brush the mixture over the pie crust. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 8: Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 9: If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.

Step 10: Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.

Storage

Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Reheating

Reheat individual slices in a microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes, or warm the whole pie in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes.
