Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon allspice
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 large Honeycrisp apples peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 9-inch premade pie dough rounds room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon butter divided into small cubes
  • 1 large egg white

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Remove the pre-made pie crusts from the fridge and let them sit on the counter for about 10 minutes. Squeeze lemons removing any from the juice. Set aside.
  2. Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/2 thick pieces. Set them aside.
  3. In a small mixing bowl stir together the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg .
  4. Add apples to a large mixing bowl. Pour in the lemon juice and gently mix to coat the apples.
  5. Then add the dry ingredient mixture to the bowl and gently stir everything together.
  6. Press one of the premade pie dough rounds into a 9-inch pie dish, draping the excess dough over the edge.
  7. Carefully spoon the coated apples into the pie dish, then use a spoon or spatula to level the top of the pie.
  8. Place the small cubes of butter over the apples evenly.
  9. Top the pie with the second pie dough crust. Pinch the two crusts together along the rim of the pie, then cut off any excess dough with a knife.
  10. Cut four 2-inch vents in the center of the top crust to allow the steam to escape during the baking process.
  11. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whisk the egg white until it becomes slightly foamy. Then brush the top of the pie with the egg white. Discard any remaining egg white.

Recipe Notes

  1. Do not skip the cooling the process after removing the pie from the oven. If you serve the pie too soon the filling will not have enough time to set and the pie will fall apart when sliced. 
  2. Nutritional information is estimated. Amounts will vary based on ingredient choices and serving sizes.
