How to Make Russian Apple Pie
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced apples with the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the apples and toss to coat evenly.
- Unfold one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie plate.
- Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.
- 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.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional).
- Bake for 65 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- 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!
