Ingredients

• 2 prepared pie crusts (homemade or store-bought)
• 6 large apples (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water (egg wash)
• coarse sugar, for sprinkling

3. 3

   Pile the apple filling into the crust, mounding in the center. Dot with butter pieces.

   Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 35-40 more minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
