Classic Comfort: Homemade Apple Pie Recipe

There's nothing quite like the aroma of freshly baked apple pie wafting through the kitchen. Indulge in the comforting flavors of this beloved dessert with our irresistible homemade apple pie recipe! 🍎🥧

Ingredients:
- 6 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
3. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot the top of the apples with the small pieces of butter.
4. Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
5. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
6. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7. Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
