Ingredients
1 package (14.1 ounce) double-crust pie pastry
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 cups apples, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to four hundred fifty Fahrenheit and place rack on lowest level.
2. Line a nine inch pie plate with the first pastry crust.
3. In a small bowl, combine white sugar and ground cinnamon.
4. Layer apple slices into the crust, dusting each layer with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
5. Dot the top layer with small pieces of butter.
6. Cover with the second pastry crust, trim excess, and flute the edges to seal.
7. Whisk the egg and water; brush the mixture over the top crust.
8. Cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
9. Bake at 450 Fahrenheit for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350 Fahrenheit and bake for 30 to 35 minutes more.
10. Cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
Use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp.
Always bake on the lowest rack to prevent a soggy bottom crust.
Let the pie cool for at least two hours for clean, firm slices.
