Ingredients

  • 2 9-inch pie crusts, I used Pillsbury
  • 6 cups peeled apples (about 8), I used 4 Granny Smith & 4 Honey Crisp
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp butter, sliced thin
  • 1 egg white

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Peel apples and slice thin in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • Press one of the pie crusts into a 9-inch pie plate.
  • To the apples, add both sugars, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Place the mixture in the pie plate and dot with the butter that has been sliced thin.
  • Cover with second pie crust, pinching the two crusts together.
  • Separate an egg, and using the egg white, brush over the top of the crust.
  • Make 3-4 slits in the top of the pie. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until the juice begins to bubble through the slits.
  • Serve warm with ice cream.
