Apple Pie  recipe

Temperature: 400° F

Ingredients

  • 4 Jonagold apples
  • 2 Granny Smith apples
  • 1 T.  lemon juice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup  flour
  • 1/4 t.  nutmeg
  • 1/2 t.  cinnamon
  • 1 T. butter
  • pinch salt
  • 1  egg

Instructions

Peel,slice and core the apples into large mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice.
Combine sugars, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg, add to apples and toss until coated. Roll out half of your pie dough and place in pie dish. Transfer apple mix into the pastry lined pie dish. Cut butter into small cubes and put on top of apples. Roll out top crust and place on apples, seal and flute the edge. Cut slits on top to allow steam to escape.
Make egg was by cracking egg into small bowl and adding a pinch of salt, whisk and brush on top of pie. Sprinkle crust with a T. of sugar if desired. Cover pie with foil to prevent over browning and bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until crust is golden and apples are tender when pierced with a knife. If it takes longer for apples to get tender cover loosly with the foil till they are done so the crust does not burn. Great basic pie recipe!
