Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 pounds of apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon butter, diced
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, flour, and vanilla in a big bowl.
- Roll out the pie crust and place it into the pie dish.
- Fill the crust with the apple mixture and dot the top with butter.
- Cover with a second pie crust and seal the edges.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to let steam escape.

- Let the pie cool for a bit before you slice and serve.
Notes
To avoid a soggy bottom, preheat the oven well and bake the pie on a sheet for direct heat. Let it rest before slicing.
