A delightful twist on the classic apple pie, featuring a buttery crust and a spiced apple filling.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Line a pie pan with one sheet of the pie crust, pressing it gently into the pan.
Use a fork to prick the bottom crust lightly to prevent bubbling.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
Uniform slices ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the apple slices.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Mound the apples slightly in the center for a classic pie shape.
Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
Butter adds richness to the filling.
Cover the filling with the second pie crust, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Decorative slits can enhance the pie's presentation.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Check the pie halfway through baking and cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Cooling allows the filling to set for cleaner slices.
