60-Minute Apple Pie Recipe by Tasty

First up, you’ll need to gather these ingredients:

• 2 pre-made pie crusts (take out of the fridge and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes)
• 6 cups thinly sliced and peeled apples (we used Granny Smith apples, but any tart apple will do)
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 large egg, beaten

Now for the instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400F (or 200C)
2. In a large bowl, mix together the apple slices, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. Spoon the mixture into one of the pie crusts, and dot with the cubed butter.
4. Cut the second pie crust into strips and weave over the top of the apple mixture to create a lattice pattern.
5. Brush the beaten egg over the top of the pie crust strips to give it a golden brown finish.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 mins, or until the crust is golden brown and the apple mixture is bubbling.
7. Let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
