How to Make All American Apple Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced apples with the sugar substitute, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Stir in the applesauce and lemon juice.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.
  5. Top with the second pie crust (or lattice top, if using a double crust). Crimp the edges to seal.
  6. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar or sugar substitute, if desired.
  7. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  8. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
