Ingredients

granulated or chubby sparkling sugar, optional
1 tbsp. water
1 egg white
1 double pie crust
2 tbsp. butter, cut into small pieces
5 cups thinly sliced apples
salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. sugar

Method

01

Mix sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, salt, and apples together in a medium bowl.
02

Roll out and place an uncooked pie crust in the bottom of a deep 9-inch pie plate.
03

Place the apple mixture in the uncooked pie shell. Place small pieces of butter on top of apple mixture.
04

Top with second pie crust, crimp the edges and then cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to vent.
05

Mix the egg white and 1 tablespoon of water together in a small bowl and then brush the top with water and sprinkle with sugar before baking.
06

Bake at 450 degrees F for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue cooking for an additional 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
07

If the edge of the crust starts to brown more quickly than the center, carefully cover the edge with foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
08

Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving. It can be made ahead of time and served at room temperature.
