Equipment

Ingredients

1 Pie Dough enough for 2 crusts
2 lbs Apples A mixture of Granny Smith and Mcintosh
¼ cup Flour
½ cup Brown Sugar
½ cup Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 Egg
1 Lemon Juiced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Roll out one piece of your pie dough on a lightly floured surface and place the pie dough into a glass pie plate. Line the unbaked pie dough with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights. Bake the dough for 10 minutes.
While the pie dough bakes, peel the apples and cut them into thin apple slices. Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl.
Add the brown sugar, white sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl. Mix well.
Take the pie dough out of the oven and remove the parchment paper and baking weights. Pour the apple mixture into the bottom crust, being careful not to add any excess apple juice from the bottom of the bowl.
Roll out the top crust and place it on top of the pie. Make three steam vents in the top pie crust. Do that by making three slices into the top of the pie.
Beat the egg and brush the egg wash on the top crust.
Bake the pie for 25 minutes then turn the pie and bake for another 20 minutes. This ensures the pie is browned evenly on all sides.
Remove the pie dish from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Discard any excess apple juice that is on the bottom of the bowl before adding the apple mixture to the pie dough.
The pie is done when the edges of the crust and the top of the pie are golden brown.
If you think that the pie is overfilled, or your pie dish is a little small for the amount of filling, place the pie dish on a rimmed baking sheet. This will catch any excess juice that may come out of the pie during baking.
