Filling and Crust

Method

Preparation and Baking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apple Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Pie Crust

    In another bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the diced butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  4. 4

    Assemble the Pie

    Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place the rolled dough in the pan and fill it with the apple mixture. Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.

  5. 5

    Egg Wash

    Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy your homemade baked apple pie!
