Autumn Apple Pie
- 1 packages ready to use refrigerated pie crust (2-9" pie crusts in each pkg) (not frozen)
- 10 small granny smith apples
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 medium half of lemon for juice
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 dash sugar to sprinkle on top
- 1 aluminum foil
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees .
- Set and roll out refrigerated pie crusts to come to room temperature so they're easier to work with.
- Peel, core and slice apples into a large mixing bowl.
- In the large bowl combine all filling ingredients and mix well.
- Set aside.
- Roll out 1 crust for the bottom to fit a 9" pie pan.
- Make sure to have a little dough in excess around the edges in order to seal the top crust.
- Spoon the pie filling onto the bottom of the crust.
- Roll out second pie crust and put over top of pie filling and tuck the edges in to seal.
- Flute the edges for a more decorative look using your fingers or a fork to seal.
- Cut slits on the top of the pie in order to vent steam while baking.
- I used an apple dough cutout for mine but a couple of slits will do just fine.
- Brush beaten egg over the pie and sprinkle with a dash of sugar.
- Cover outter crust edges and the whole pie with aluminium foil for first 30 minutes of baking.
- Remove the foil after 30 minutes and continue until apples are tender and the top of pie is golden brown.
- Cool and enjoy!
