Indulge in the classic comfort of a homemade apple pie with this simple and delicious recipe. The flaky crust, sweet apple filling, and warm spices come together to create a dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 6-7 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Mix until the apples are evenly coated.
  3. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the apple mixture into the crust.
  4. Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the apple filling. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
  5. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  6. Make a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  7. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Allow the pie to cool before serving. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
