Easy Apple Pie

Author Catherine's Plates

Ingredients

  • 6-8 cups peeled, cored and sliced apples (I used gala apples) slice apples 1/4' thick
  • 1 box (2 crusts) refrigerated pie crusts (unbaked) I used pillsbury all ready pie crust
  • 1 large bowl Water
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 TBS All Purpose Flour
  • l TBS lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Water
  • 1 tsp white granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place 1 refrigerated pie crust into a 9 inch deep dish pie plate. After slicing apples place into a large bowl of water with 1 tsp of salt to prevent browning while slicing rest of apples. Once all apples are peeled, cored, and sliced drain from water and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Place apple slices into a large dry bowl.
  • Add sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, lemon juice and nutmeg. Mix well to coat apple slices.
  • Pour apple mixture into bottom pie crust. Place 2nd pie crust on top of apple mixture and pressing edges of top and bottom pie crusts together to seal. Flute edges for decoration. Cut 4 slits into top crust in the center for venting.
  • Whisk together 1 egg and 1 tsp of water. Brush egg wash over top crust and edges. Sprinkle a light coating of sugar on top of egg wash.
  • Bake in preheated oven on center rack for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. (If crust is browning before pie is done, place foil over pie. If only the edges are browning, place a pie ring or foil over the crust edges.)
  • Cool pie on a wire rack for 2 hours before cutting the pie.
