Ingredients

Scale
  • Double-crust pie dough
  • 2 1/2 lbs Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 2 1/2 lbs Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp grated fresh lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 egg white (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Roll out half of the double-crust pie dough and place it in a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. In a large pot over medium heat, combine sliced Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon zest, salt, and cinnamon. Cook until just tender but not mushy (about 10 minutes).
  4. Allow the apple mixture to cool on a rimmed baking sheet for about 30 minutes.
  5. Pour the cooled apple filling into the prepared crust. Drizzle with reserved lemon juice.
  6. Roll out the second half of the dough and place it over the apple filling. Trim excess dough and crimp edges to seal.
  7. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape and brush with beaten egg white.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
