Instructions

Tap a step to mark it done.

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F and place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch drips.
  2. Fit one crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Toss the apples with the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice. Pile them into the crust and dot with the butter.
  4. Cover with the second crust. Trim, fold the edges under and crimp to seal. Cut 4 small slits in the top and brush with the egg wash.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, then lower the oven to 375°F and bake 35 to 40 minutes more, until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles. Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
  6. Cool for at least 2 hours so the filling can set before slicing.

Cook's tips

  • A mix of tart and sweet apples gives the best flavor and texture.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a slice of sharp cheddar.
