- 4 cups sliced apples (about 5 medium apples)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
-
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel, core, and slice the apples evenly.
- In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Let the apple mixture sit for about 10 minutes to draw out juices.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of allspice if desired.
-
- Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges.
- Fill with the apple mixture and dot with butter.
- Cover with the second crust, seal and crimp the edges, and cut a few slits on top for steam.
-
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing for best results.
- Serve plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic treat!
