Ingredients

• 6 cups sliced apples
• 0.75 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 piece pie dough
• 1 piece pie dough
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
3. Roll out half of the pie dough to fit your pie pan. Place the dough into the pan and trim the edges.
4. Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, mounding slightly in the center.
5. Roll out the second half of the pie dough and place it over the filling. Trim, fold, and crimp the edges to seal.
6. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
7. Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
9. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
10. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving.
