- Total Time: 3 hours 30 minutes
- Yield: 1 pie 1x
Ingredients
Units Scale
- Dough for double-crust pie {All-Butter Pie Crust|https://kitchen-joy.lndo.site/baking/all-butter-pie-crust-recipe/]
- 7-8 apples peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- pinch of salt
- 1 egg white, beaten lightly
- 1 additional tablespoon sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a pie plate with dough.
- Peel, core, and slice apples and toss them in a large bowl with the lemon juice. The lemon juice prevents the apples from turning brown.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and salt. Add apples to mixture and toss until apples are coated.
- Spread apples into prepared crust.
- Roll out second disc of dough, and cover apples with it. (If you would like to make a lattice top pie, slice the top crust into even strips and arrange in a basket-weave pattern on top of the apples, then trim and crimp the edges.) Cut slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush top of pie crust with egg white and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes, until crust is golden. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees F and bake 30-40 minutes more until filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
- Let cool on wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. (Filling will be much too runny if served immediately.)
