Ingredients

2 lbs Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/8 tsp salt

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

1 package (14.1 oz) refrigerated pie crusts

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. In a large bowl, combine apple slices, honey, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until apples are evenly coated.

3. Unroll one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, allowing excess to hang over the edges.

4. Pour apple mixture into the crust and spread evenly. Dot with butter pieces.

5. Unroll the second pie crust and lay it over the filling. Trim, fold, and crimp edges to seal.

6. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush with beaten egg.

7. Place pie on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.

8. Cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
