Instructions
- Mix the apples, white and brown sugar, cornstarch, flour and cinnamon until the apples are fully coated.
- Add lemon juice and lemon zest
- Place the apple filling into the bottom pie crust and spread evenly - I like to pile it up in the center too!
- Dot with the butter
- Cover the apples with pie crust. I like to use a lattice pie crust for apple pies because I believe they bake more evenly.
- You can also create cute pie crust cutouts to decorate your pie!
- Beat the egg in a small cup and a Tbsp. of water. This is the egg wash that you brush on the top of the piecrust and edges to give it a lovely golden colour.
- Bake in the bottom third of a 350F/180C degree oven for 45-55 minutes
- Enjoy!
