Scale
- 2 pie crusts for a 9-inch double-crust pie
- 2 1/2 pounds (1.1kg) apples, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour

- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, dotted
- 1 egg, beaten, for the top
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Fit one crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
- Toss apples with sugars, flour, spices, salt, and lemon. Pile them into the crust. Dot with butter.
- Cover with the second crust. Crimp, cut vents, and brush with egg.
- Bake 20 minutes. Lower to 350°F (175°C) and bake 35 to 45 minutes more until the filling bubbles and the crust is deep gold. Cool at least 2 hours.
