- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour.
- Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
3. Assemble the Pie
- Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently to fit the dish.
- Pour the apple filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Cover with the second pie crust, crimping the edges together to seal.
- Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
4. Add the Topping (Optional)
- Brush the top crust with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered crust.
5. Bake
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
6. Cool and Serve
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips for Success
- Choose the Right Apples
Tart apples like Granny Smith work best as they hold their shape and balance the sweetness. - Quick Shortcut
Use canned apple pie filling to save even more time. - Golden Crust Hack
For an extra glossy crust, brush it with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking. - Make It Your Own
Add raisins, chopped nuts, or caramel drizzle to elevate the flavors.
