Ingredients

  • cup white sugar
  • cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbs ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 pack of pie crusts
  • 4 granny smith apples peeled, cored and sliced
  • 4 gala apples peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 egg yolk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Put all of the sliced apples into a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Place one of the pie crust into a 10 inch pie pan. Pour the ¾ of the sugar mixture over the apples and toss to coat.
  • Put one layer of apples into the pie crust and shake a little more of the sugar mixture on top. Repeat.
  • Put the top layer of apples into the pie.
  • Roll out the other pie crust and cut into 1 inch strips.
  • Put 4 strips of dough across the pie horizontally. Lift strips 1 and 3 and put a strip of dough vertically. Repeat from the opposite side.
  • Lift strips 2 and 3 and put a strip of dough vertically. Repeat from the opposite side.
  • Continue doing that until the lattice top looks the way you would like.
  • Using a fork or your fingers, press down on the edges of the pie to make the lattice top as seamless as possible from the crust.
  • Use a brush to put the egg yolk onto the dough.
  • Bake for 45 minutes.

Notes

You can peel, core and slice all of the apples one (1) day before making the pie. Put them into a large bowl and squeeze ½ a lemon on top. Cover them securely with plastic wrap. This will stop them from browning.
