Ingredients
- 2 batches of pie dough homemade or store-bought
For Apple Filling
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ ground nutmeg
- 5 tart ex: Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced into ¼” slices
- 5 sweet ex: Jonagold or Braeburn apples, peeled and sliced into ¼” slices
For Crust
- 1 egg white beaten with 1 Tbsp of water
- 2 Tbsp sparkling sugar
Instructions
- Roll each batch of pie dough out into a 12” circle. (Note: You will have (2) 12” circles of dough.)
- Press one circle of dough into a 9” pie plate. Place pie plate and second circle of dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Using a Dutch oven or large skillet, add all Apple Filling ingredients (sugar, brown sugar, salt, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and apples); stir until well combined.
- Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, or until apples just turn fork tender.
- Transfer apples onto rimmed baking sheet and let cool for30 minutes at room temperature (or ~10 minutes in refrigerator).
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Transfer apples into a large colander and shake to drain as much liquid as possible. (Do not rinse!) Transfer apples into pie dish.
- Top apples with the second circle of dough. Pinch edges of top and bottom dough together. Trim edges to ~¾” overhang. Fold overhang on top of itself so that it is even with edge of pie dish. Using fingers, crimp edges or press with fork.
- Brush top of pie with egg white and then sprinkle sparkling sugar evenly on top. Cut (4) 2” slashes in top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake at 425°F on lowest rack of oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 42-45 more minutes, or until top of pie is golden brown. Let cool for at least 60 minutes before slicing.
