Classic Apple Pie

Ingredients

Filling

• 6–7 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• ¾ cup sugar (mix white + brown if you like)
• 2 tbsp flour or cornstarch
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Pinch of salt

Crust

• 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tbsp butter (small pieces)
• 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (optional, for egg wash)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare apples: Peel, core, and slice apples.
3. Mix filling: Toss apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt.
4. Assemble pie:
   • Place one crust in a pie dish.
   • Fill with apple mixture.
   • Dot with small pieces of butter.
   • Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut small slits on top.
5. Egg wash (optional): Brush top with egg wash for a golden crust.
6. Bake:
   • Bake 45–55 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
   • If crust browns too fast, cover edges with foil.
7. Cool: Let cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Tips & Variations

• Extra flavor: Add a splash of vanilla or caramel drizzle.
• Crumb topping: Skip the top crust and use a streusel topping.
• Best apples: Use a mix of sweet and tart apples.
