Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 -6 Granny Smith apples
- 2 sweet apples Honeycrisp or Gala
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 butter pie crust dough
- 1 egg for the eggwash
- 2 tablespoons water for the eggwash
Instructions
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into wedges, place in a large bowl, and toss with the lemon juice.
- Sprinkle the white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and flour over the apples and mix with your hands so the fruit is coated with the dry ingredients.
- Roll out one disc of pie crust dough and place it in a pie pan.
- Fill the crust with the apple mixture and tamp down.
- Dot with three tablespoons of butter.
- Roll out the second crust to fit over the apples.
- Place on top of the pie.
- Crimp the edges to seal and cut a few steam vents on top. Alternatively, cut the pastry into strips and create a lattice-style top.
- Brush the top of the pie with an egg wash made with one egg and a tablespoon or two of water, and then sprinkle with a bit of sugar.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees.
- After 10 minutes, loosely cover the top of the pie with foil.
- Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 40 to 50 minutes.
- Remove the foil for the last 5-10 minutes of baking if you want it to brown more.
- The pie is fully cooked when the fruit bubbles up through the vents or lattice.
- Let cool for at least one hour before serving.
