Calories 461kcal
Ingredients
- 4 large Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 3 large Honey Crisp apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 9-inch pie crust refrigerated or frozen and defrosted
For the egg wash
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit and grease a 9-inch pie pan.
- In a large bowl, toss the apples with both sugars, flour, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.
- Press one pie crust firmly into the bottom and sides of the prepared pan. Crimp or decorate the edges if desired.
- For a lattice top, place the second crust on a lightly floured surface or parchment. Cut into 1-inch strips.
- Stir the apples again, then pour them into the crust-lined pan and spread them into an even layer. Arrange one layer of strips over the top, spaced about 1 inch apart. Place a second layer of strips perpendicular to the first, weaving into a lattice pattern.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the heavy cream. Brush the mixture evenly over the top crust.
- Bake the pie at 400° Fahrenheit for 25 minutes. Cover the edges with a pie shield or foil, reduce the oven temperature to 350° Fahrenheit, and continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the lattice.
- If using a shallow pie pan, place a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips.
- Cool the pie at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours until the filling is set before slicing and serving.
