Ingredients
Scale
6 to 8 medium apples, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
1 package of pie crusts (or homemade crust)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan.
Fill the crust with the apple mixture and dot with butter.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Seal and flute the edges, then cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples.
Serve with vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
