Classic Apple Pie

Ingredients

• Pastry for a double-crust 23 cm pie (homemade or all-butter store-bought)
• 7–8 firm tart apples, peeled and sliced
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 tbsp flour or 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp lemon juice, pinch of salt
• 1 egg, beaten (egg wash); 1 tbsp coarse sugar

Instructions

1. Toss the apples with sugar, flour/cornstarch, spices, lemon, and salt. Let sit 20 minutes.
2. Heat oven to 220 °C with a baking tray on the bottom rack. Line a pie plate with the bottom pastry.
3. Fill with the apples (mounded). Lay the top crust over, trim, seal, and crimp. Cut vents.
4. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
5. Bake on the hot tray at 220 °C for 20 minutes, then reduce to 190 °C and bake 35–40 minutes until deep golden and bubbling.
6. Cool completely (at least 3 hours) before slicing so the filling sets.
