First off, get 8 medium-sized apples then peel, core, and slice them. Dalton shares, “I like to use Granny Smith apples as I find them quite sharp, or Gala, or Golden Delicious for sweetness but you can use any apples you prefer.” If you’re doing this step ahead of time, she recommends adding lemon juice “to prevent them from browning too much.”
Next, you’ll need ½ cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces. Instead of making your own crust and turning this easy recipe into a lengthy affair, Dalton thaws two frozen pie crusts. Finally, separate an egg yolk to brush the top of the pie.
