Award-Winning Apple Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 double crust pie crust (homemade or store bought)

- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter

- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of corn starch
- 1 egg white
Instructions:
- Roll out the bottom crust and fit it into the pie dish, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Trim off any excess crust.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the sugar, lemon juice, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, making sure it’s compact and evenly distributed.
- Roll out the top crust and carefully place it over the filling.
- Trim off any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal the pie completely. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow for steam to escape.

- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Make sure to cover the edges of the crust with foil if they’re browning too quickly.
