Imagine the golden crust, perfectly caramelized apples, and a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg dancing in your kitchen, filling the air with a tantalizing aroma that promises a heavenly treat.

Ingredients

• 6 cups of peeled, cored, and sliced apples
• 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
• 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and flour. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
3. Unroll one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the apple filling into the crust.
4. Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the apple filling. Pinch the edges to seal and create a decorative crust. Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
5. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg, and optionally, sprinkle with a bit of sugar for a golden, sweet finish.
6. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the filling to set and ensures easy slicing.
