Delicious fresh apple pie with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Ingredients

• 1 pkg Double pie crust, or pre-made recipe for double pie crust pastry

• 6 cups Granny Smith apples; peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

• 1/2 cup Sugar, granulated white

• 4 tablespoons Butter; cold, cubed small

• 1 Egg, large

• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon, ground

• 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg, ground

• 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425° F (218° C).
• In large mixing bowl, mix peeled, thinly sliced apples with lemon juice and vanilla extract. Toss to coat.
• In separate small mixing bowl mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well.
• Add flour/sugar mixture to apples. Toss thoroughly to coat.
• Place bottom crust in 9 inch pie plate.
• Spoon 1/3 of apple mixture into crust. Sprinkle with 1/3 of butter cubes. Repeat for two more layers of remaining apples and butter.
• Cover pie with remaining pie crust. Crimp edges of pie crust to close sides together using fingers or pressing with a fork.
• Beat egg and brush over top of pie crust. Cut 6-8 slits in top crust of approx. 1/2 inch length to vent.
• Place pie on baking sheet and place in pre-heated oven.
• Bake 10 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 350° F (175° C) and bake for 40-50 minutes or until desired doneness. Check pie every 10-15 minutes during baking. If edges of crust begin to brown too much before baking is finished, cover edges with aluminum foil to prevent scorching.
• Place baked pie on rack to cool. Allow pie to cool for 90-120 minutes before serving.

Notes

• Granny smith apples are best for apple pie because of their firmness, crisp texture, and pleasant sour taste. They are always on sale and the pies with them turn out to be always right.
• Glass or ceramic pie plates are highly recommended for baking double-crust pies.
