How to Make All American Apple Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, melted butter, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
  4. Dot the top of the filling with a few pats of butter (optional).
  5. Cover the pie with the top crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  6. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional).
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

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.
