Simple Apple Pie Recipe

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Apple Filling

   • In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice.

   • Toss until the apples are evenly coated and set aside.

3. Assemble the Pie

   • Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it gently into the sides and bottom.

   • Pour the apple mixture into the crust and dot the top with small cubes of butter.

   • Cover with the second pie crust, either as a full top crust or a lattice design. Trim any overhanging dough and crimp the edges to seal.

4. Add the Finishing Touches

   • Brush the top crust with beaten egg to create a golden finish.

   • If desired, sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over the crust for added sweetness.

   • Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

5. Bake the Pie

   • Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

6. Cool and Serve

   • Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to let the filling set.

   • Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
