Apple Pie

Ingredients

• 2 9-inch rounds pie crust
• 6 medium apples
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large egg

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently against the bottom and sides.

2. 2

   Peel, core, and slice the 6 apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. In a large bowl, toss the apples with 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until well coated.

3. 3

   Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, mounding slightly in the center. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.

4. 4

   Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim the excess, then crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, beat the 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish.

6. 6

   Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the slits. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
