Instructions

- Prepare the Apple Filling: Slice your apples and toss them with lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, white sugar, and flour in a mixing bowl.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 425°F (220°C).
- Assemble the Pie: Roll out the dough and fit it into a pie pan. Fill with the apple mixture, dot with butter, and cover with the top crust. Cut slits in the crust for steam.
- Bake the Pie: Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let cool for 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
