Spiced Apple Pie

This spiced apple pie combines the sweetness of apples with the warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg, all enveloped in a flaky crust that melts in your mouth. Follow these steps for a pie that will impress your family and friends!

Ingredients

• 2 ½ pounds of mixed apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Golden Delicious)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade, if you’re feeling adventurous!)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Start by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples into thin slices.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, flour, and vanilla extract. Toss the mixture until the apples are well-coated with the spices and sugars.
4. Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, allowing any excess to hang over the edges.
5. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, and dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
6. Roll out the second crust and place it over the apple filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
7. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is beautifully golden brown.
9. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy every delicious bite!
