Scale
For the Filling:
1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar
¼ Cup Cane Sugar
1 TBS All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1 TBS Apple Pie Spice
2 lbs Apples (about 6 medium apples)
For the Pie Crust:
1 Prepared All-Butter Flaky Double Pie Crust Pastry
Extra Flour For Rolling Out Pie Crust
For the Glaze:
1 Egg, beaten
1 tsp Cane Sugar
1 tsp Apple Pie Spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F. Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator to let it warm for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugars, flour, lemon zest, and spices. Set it aside.
- Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/4-inch slices. Add them to the sugar bowl as you work. Toss to coat and let the apples sit and begin to caramelize while you prepare the pie crust.
- On a lightly floured surface, flatten one ball of dough with your hands. Roll dough to about 12 inches in diameter, to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
- Place the pie crust pastry into the prepared pie plate and add the apple pie filling.
- Brush around the outer edge of the pastry with the beaten egg.
- Roll out the top pastry and place on top of the filling. Fold the top crust under the bottom crust and pinch or flute the edges.
- To glaze, brush the piecrust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar and spices.
- Cut vent holes and bake in a preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Remove the apple pie from oven and let it cool at least 30 minutes before serving. Makes 1 pie, about 8 servings.
