How to Make Russian Apple Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced apples with the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Drizzle the melted butter over the apples and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Unfold one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie plate.
  5. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.
  6. Place the second pie crust on top. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  7. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional).
  8. Bake for 65 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
