Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 box (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, 1 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll one pie crust onto the baking sheet.
- Pour the apple mixture evenly onto the pie crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Dot the apple mixture with butter pieces.
- Unroll the second pie crust. Gently place it over the apple mixture. Trim edges and crimp to seal.
- Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with milk or cream and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter pie, increase the amount of sugar to taste.
- You can use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji.
- If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the pie loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
