Ingredients

Scale

6–7 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
3–4 medium Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 prepared pie crusts (for top and bottom)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
3. Place one prepared pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the apple mixture, mounding the apples in the center.
4. Dot the top of the apples with the pieces of butter.
5. Cover the apples with the second prepared pie crust, sealing and crimping the edges. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
6. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 20 minutes.
7. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 40–50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
8. Allow the pie to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
