Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a rack in the center.
-
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. In a large bowl, combine the apple slices with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss well to coat the apples evenly in the mixture.
-
Roll out the pie crust and line a 9-inch pie dish with it, leaving a slight overhang around the edges.
-
Pour the prepared apple filling into the pie crust, mounding it slightly in the middle.
-
Create a rustic top for your pie by cutting the remaining pie crust into strips and laying them in a lattice pattern over the apple filling, or place the whole rolled-out crust over the filling and cut a few slits to allow steam to escape.
-
Fold and crimp the overhanging edges of the crust with the bottom crust to seal in the filling while baking.
-
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
-
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to help the filling set and make for easier slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
