. Prep the Crust
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Unroll one pie crust into a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan (or baking sheet).
-
Patch any tears with extra dough—perfection not required!
2. Make the Apple Filling
-
Toss apple slices, sugars, lemon juice, spices, salt, and cornstarch in a bowl.
-
Let sit 10 mins (juices will release).
🍎 Pro Tip: Sweeter apples = softer filling | Tart apples = firmer slices
3. Assemble & Bake
-
Pile apples onto crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
-
Top with second crust, crimping edges roughly (or fold under for rustic charm).
-
Cut slits to vent, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
-
Bake 40-45 mins until golden and bubbly.
4. Serve & Watch It Vanish!
-
Cool 15 mins (or risk lava-hot apples!).
-
Slice into squares and serve with ice cream.
