Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, toss the apples with sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.

Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.

Fill the crust with the apple mixture and dot with butter cubes.

Cover with the second crust, trim the excess, and crimp edges.

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to vent.

Brush the top crust with the egg wash.
Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 35–40 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Let cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.
