Grandma's Apple Pie

Ingredients

• 6 cups thinly sliced Granny Smith apples (about 6 medium)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 ready-made pie crusts (9-inch)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp coarse sugar (for topping)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
2. Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the apple mixture into the crust, mounding slightly in the center. Dot with butter pieces.
3. Cut the second pie crust into ½-inch strips. Weave a lattice pattern over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
4. Brush the lattice with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
5. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 40–45 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
6. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the full experience.
