  • 2 sheets Pre-made pie crusts
  • 6 Apples medium, e.g., Granny Smith, peeled, cored, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 1 Egg beaten, for egg wash

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Vegetable peeler

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and prepare your apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice, ensuring the apples are evenly coated.
Assemble & Bake
  1. Line a 9-inch pie dish with one pre-made pie crust, then pour the apple mixture into the crust and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
  2. Place the second pie crust over the filling, crimp the edges to seal, and cut several small vents in the top crust; brush the top with the beaten egg wash.
  3. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
