Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss 6 medium Granny Smith apples and 2 medium Honeycrisp apples, peeled and sliced ¼-inch thick, with ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon allspice, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Let the mixture macerate for 10 minutes, allowing the apples to release their liquid.

After 10 minutes, drain the excess liquid from the apple mixture to prevent a soggy bottom in the pie. Fit one of the 2 store-bought or homemade double pie crust discs into a 9-inch pie plate without stretching it.

Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, mounding it in the center. Dot the filling with 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Lay the second crust over the top; trim, fold, and crimp the edges decoratively. Cut 5–6 steam vents with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape.

Brush the top crust with the egg wash made from 1 beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon milk, and sprinkle 1 tablespoon granulated sugar over the top for added sweetness and crunch.

Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 375°F (190°C) (without opening the door) and continue baking for an additional 35–40 minutes until the crust is a deep golden brown and juices are bubbling thickly through the vents.

If the edges of the crust are browning too quickly, cover them with foil strips. Once baked, cool the pie for at least 3 hours before slicing to allow the filling to firm up properly.
