Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz pie crust (2 count)
  • 8 cups Granny Smith apples (pealed, cored, and sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare dough and set aside.
  • In a large bowl mix together apples, lemon juice, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Allow setting for 5-10 minutes to draw water out of the apples. Drain well before adding to your pie crust. 
  • Place ½ of dough into the bottom of a pie pan and fill with apple mix and top with other ½ of dough. Poke holes in the top or layout crust and slice with a pizza cutter into stripes and place crisscross on top of the pie.
  • Whisk together water and egg yolk and brush on top of the crust.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown. To keep your edges from burner add foil around the edges of the pie.

Notes

  • Cooking Tip: Allow your apples to sit for 5-10 minutes to draw water out of the apples. This will help your pie from getting too soupy or wet when baking. After several minutes you want to drain the apples well before adding to your pie crust. I usually use a slotted spoon to scoop the apples out of the bowl and into the pie. Leaving any juice in the bowl and not in my pie.
  • Tip: Many people ask what apples are best for an apple pie, as they can differ in taste. I recommend Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or Golden Delicious.
