Ingredients
Scale
- 6–7 medium apples (3 lbs), firm (e.g., Granny Smith, Honeycrisp)
- 2 disks pie dough (14 oz total), chilled
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare Bottom Crust: On a floured surface, roll one chilled dough disk to an 11-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, letting edges overhang; chill for 15 minutes.
- Prepare Apple Filling: Wash, peel, core, and slice apples into 0.25-0.5 inch pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, salt, and 0.25 cup all-purpose flour. Toss gently for 2-3 minutes until evenly coated.
- Assemble The Pie: Pour the apple filling into the chilled pie plate, mounding it high in the center. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of small butter pieces.
- Create Lattice Top: Roll out the second dough disk, cut into 0.75-inch strips. Weave the strips over the filling to create a lattice pattern. Crimp the edges firmly and brush with egg wash.
- Bake To Perfection: Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Bake for 15 minutes until crust edges begin to firm. Reduce oven temperature to 375F (190C) and bake for an additional 45-60 minutes, until the crust is deeply golden and the filling is visibly bubbly. If crust browns too quickly, cover edges loosely with foil.
Notes
For a quicker family dessert, use pre-made pie crusts or a simple streusel topping instead of a full lattice. To prevent a soggy bottom crust, ensure your dough is well-chilled; par-baking the bottom crust for 10-15 minutes is an option. If pie edges brown too fast, cover them loosely with aluminum foil.
