Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crust dough, at room temperature
  • 4-6 medium Honeycrisp apples peeled, cored and sliced
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 egg + a splash of water or milk
  • Optional: sanding sugar or turbinado sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Unroll one of the pie dough packages and layer it into a deep dish pie plate.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with the sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg and toss to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to layer the apples into the prepared pie crust, draining any excess liquid and trying to keep the apples in an even layer.
  • Unroll the remaining pie dough and slice into 1-inch strips (I like to use a pizza cutter).
  • Layer 4 strips vertically across the pie and then 4 strips horizontally across the pie. Starting with the strip on your far left, alternate it through the remaining ones, going over, then under, then over, then under.
  • On the second strip, start the strip under, then over, under, then over. Alternate again for strip 3 and then again for strip 4. (Strips 1 and 3 will be over/under and strips 2 and 4 will be under/over)
  • Cut off any strips that hang over the pie, or crimp into the edges.
  • Lightly beat an egg with a splash of water or milk and brush over the lattice top of the pie.
  • Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 and bake for another 30-35 minutes or until the pie is lightly golden and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Apples
  • I like to slice my apples about ¼ inch thick so they hold up to baking and still provide a little crunch.
  • You need about 4 cups of sliced apples, less if you do not have a deep dish pie plate.
Egg Wash
  • The egg can be lightly beaten with either a splash of water or milk before it is brushed onto the top dough.
Turbinado Sugar
  • Sprinkling the top of the pie with turbinado sugar or sanding sugar is optional. I think it's pretty so I use it.
Nutritional Data may vary depending on type of pie dough and amount of apples used.
