Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-rolled pie crust
  • 3 granny smith or honey crisp apples, cored and sliced (14 oz.)
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 Tbsp corn starch
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp. allspice
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp. butter, cubed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • coarse sugar to sprinkle

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Line an edged baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unroll the pie crust onto the parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, corn starch, and salt.
  • Prepare apples by removing the cores, slicing the apples to quarter-inch slices, and adding them to a large bowl.
  • Add the lemon juice to the apples.
  • Cover the apples the the dry mixture and toss to coat the fruit.
  • Arrange the apples around the center of the pie crust, leaving about 1½ inches around the outside edge.
  • Fold the outside of the crust over in 8 sections to cover the edges of the fruit and pinch together any cracks.
  • Brush the exposed top of the crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle the crust with coarse sugar.
  • Sprinkle small pieces of butter on the top of the fruit.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes to cool.
