Classic Apple Pie

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.

3. 3

   Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the excess dough around the edges.

4. 4

   Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

5. 5

   Dot the apple mixture with small pieces of the unsalted butter.

6. 6

   Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the apple filling. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie.

7. 7

   Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

8. 8

   Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

9. 9

   Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving.
