Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 recipe for traditional pie crust ((it makes two, one for the bottom crust, one for the top))
  • 5 cups thinly sliced apples ((peeled and cored))
  • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
  • 1 egg + 1 tablespoon of water (beaten)
  • Sparkling sugar for crust ((optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450 °F. Roll out the dough for the bottom of the pie and place into the bottom of a lightly greased 9-inch oven-safe pie dish.
  • In a very large bowl, add apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Pour the entire filling into the pie dish, on top of the pie crust. Spread into an even layer.
  • Add butter throughout the filling. Roll out the remaining dough for the top of the pie. Do whatever design you want but all I did was roll it out and put it on top and crimped the edges with the bottom crust to seal.
  • Brush egg mixture on top of pie then sprinkle sparkling sugar throughout. Using a sharp knife, create a steam hole on top.
  • Bake at 450 °F for 15 minutes then lower the oven temperature to 375 °F and bake for another 30 minutes.
  • If the crust looks like it's getting too brown, you can tent it with foil, but I had no issues so I didn't need to do that.
  • Let sit for 15 minutes then slice and enjoy with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
