Ingredients
Pie Filling
- 16 medium granny Smith apples
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup white sugar
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 pie shells
Top Crust
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the apple-filling ingredients. Once combined, transfer the mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie shell.
- Roll out the top crust and place it over the filling, tucking the edges around the pie dish.
- Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- In a separate bowl, beat together an egg and a tablespoon of water, then brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.
- Bake the pie for 45 minutes or until it becomes golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
- Allow the pie to cool before serving.
Notes
- Always use fresh, organic Granny Smith apples for the best flavor.
- For a more flavorful crust, add an extra tablespoon of sugar or 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Skip the egg wash if you prefer a crispier top crust.
- If using pre-made pie shells, make sure to blind-bake them for 10 minutes at 375°F (190°C) before adding the filling.
- For a crunchier top crust, sprinkle a tablespoon of coarse sugar over the crust before baking.
