[Grandma's] Apple Pie

The flavor favorite, of the pie queen!

Ingredients

  • 6 Granny Smith Apples or any crisp variety
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 3 tbsp Flour
  • 1/2 c Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 c White Sugar
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 1 Perfect Pie Crust See Recipe Notes
  • 1 Egg

Instructions

  1. Start by making the 'Perfect Pie Crust.' When your dough is mixed together, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the filling.

  2. Preheat oven to 375

  3. In a large bowl, add your lemon juice. Then peel, core, and cut the apples and place in the bowl. They should be cut into 16 pieces. Toss the apples in the juice occasionally while prepping the apples to prevent browning.

  4. Add the flour, sugars, spices, and salt to the apples and toss to coat. Set aside while you roll out the crust.

  5. On a floured surface roll out half of the pie dough. Transfer to a greased pie pan. Place your filling in the pan over the bottom crust and set aside.

  6. Again, on a floured surface, roll out the other half of the dough and cut into strips for the lattice.

  7. Weave your dough strips in and out to make the lattice shape. You can also use a solid top crust! Just cut slits to release the air.

  8. Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash. Gently brush over the top and sprinkle with sugar. This will give you the nice golden color.

  9. Place the pie pan on a cookie sheet and then loosely tent with foil. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake another 20-30 minutes until its done. It will be nice an bubbly!

  10. Serve A La Mode!
