Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (approx. 3 lbs / 1.36kg) Fresh Apples, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup (150g) Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tbsp (16g) Cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp (8g) Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) Salt
  • 2 tbsp (28g) Unsalted Butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 package (14.1 oz / 400g) Ready-made refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Water
  • 1 tbsp (8g) Coarse Sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Lightly grease your 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Roll out the first pie crust and press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish, leaving a slight overhang. Place the dish on a baking sheet.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until coated.
  4. Pour the apple filling into the prepared crust, piling the apples slightly higher in the center. Dot the top of the apples with the cubed chilled butter.
  5. Roll out the second crust and place it over the top, cutting 4-5 slits for steam, or create a lattice. Trim excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
  6. Whisk the egg and water together and brush the top crust with the egg wash. Sprinkle coarse sugar evenly across the top.
  7. Bake for 45–55 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling juices are bubbling through the vents.
