Rustic Apple Pie

First up, we’ve got a good ole fashioned rustic apple pie that’s perfect for any occasion. Trust me, your family and friends are gonna be begging for the recipe after they take that first bite. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

• 2 pre-made pie crusts
• 8 cups thinly sliced, peeled and cored apples
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar, for sprinkling on top

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) with a rack in the lower third of the oven.
2. In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together until everything is evenly coated.
3. Place one of the pie crusts into a 9-inch pie dish, leaving the edges overhanging. Fill the crust with the apple mixture, then dot with the small pieces of butter.
4. Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the apples. Using a sharp knife, trim off the excess dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of overhang. Fold the overhang up and over the top crust and crimp to seal the edges.
5. Brush the egg white over the top of the crust and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
6. Make 4-5 small slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape, then bake for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
7. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
