Ingredients:

• 2 (9″) pie crusts
• 7 large Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored and sliced into 1/2 inch slices)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar (loosely packed)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (plus the zest of half of a lemon)
• 1 large egg (lightly beaten in a small bowl for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons sanding sugar (optional)

Instruction:

1. Start by preparing this flaky pie crust recipe which makes 2 (9″) pie crusts, one for the bottom and one for the top of the pie. The pie dough will need to chill for at least 1 hour before rolling out. Or use a store-bought pie crust and follow package directions.
2. Place oven rack in the center position and Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice and lemon zest; toss to coat evenly.
4. Remove the pie crust dough from the fridge and let rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll one disc into a 12″ circle that is 1/8″ thick. Carefully lay the crust into the bottom of a deep dish pie plate.
5. Spoon the apple filling over the bottom crust and discard juices at the bottom of the bowl. Roll out the second disc of pie crust until it is 1/8″ thick and lay it over the apple filling.
6. Use a sharp knife to trim the dough along the outside edge of the pie plate. Lift the edges where the two pie crust meet, gently press to seal and fold them under. Rotate the pie plate and repeat this process until edges are neatly tucked under themselves. Cut 4 slits in the top of the dough to allow steam to vent. Place the pie on a baking sheet.
7. Brush the surface of the pie crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Cover the edges with a pie shield or a strip of foil to keep them from over browning during the first 25 minutes.
8. Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 25 minutes. Carefully remove the pie shield, turn the oven down to 375° and continue to bake for an additional 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the juices are bubbly. Cool at room temperature for at least 3 hours.

Nutrition Facts: servingSize 1 slice, calories 323 kcal, Carbohydrate 54 g, Protein 3 g, Fat 11 g, Saturated Fat 3 g, Sodium 247 mg, Fiber 3 g, Sugar 28 g

Ingredients:

• 1 box (14.1 oz.) refrigerated pie crusts ((I use Pillsbury brand, which has 2 crusts in each box))
• 6 cups peeled, thinly sliced Granny Smith apples ((about 5-6 apples; approximately 2 lbs. before peeling and slicing))
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
• Optional for serving: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream; caramel sauce

Instruction:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Bring refrigerated pie crusts to room temperature.
2. Unroll 1 pie crust and press it into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Cover and chill the crust for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the filling (the cold pastry will yield an flakier crust).
3. In a large bowl, toss together all of the filling ingredients.
4. Transfer filling to the pie plate. Unroll the second pie crust and place it on top of the apples.
5. Tuck the extra top crust under the bottom crust edge, pinching together with your fingers to seal or crimp.
6. Cut slits in the top of the pie (to allow the steam to vent).
7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. About halfway through the baking time, cover the edge of the crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent the edges from becoming too dark.
8. Cool pie on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
