Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425˚F. Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator to let it warm for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sugars, flour, lemon zest, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/4-inch slices. Add them to the sugar bowl as you work. Toss to coat and let the apples sit and begin to caramelize while you prepare the pie crust.
  • On a lightly floured surface, flatten one ball of dough with your hands. Roll dough to about 12-inches in diameter, to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Place the pie crust pastry into the prepared pie plate and add the apple pie filling.
  • Brush around the outer edge of the pastry with the beaten egg.
  • Roll out the top pastry and place on top of the filling. Fold the top crust under the bottom crust and pinch or flute the edges.
  • To glaze, brush the piecrust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
  • Cut vent holes, and bake in a preheated over for 35 to 40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
  • Remove the apple pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Makes 1 pie, about eight servings.
