Ingredients diff

  • 1 double crust [[pie-dough|Pie Dough]]
  • 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
  • 2 medium Honeycrisp apples, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water, for egg wash

Steps diff

  • Set a rack in the lower-middle position, heat oven to 425F, and place a sheet pan beneath to catch drips.
  • Toss apples with sugars, spices, and cornstarch; let sit 10 minutes, then cook briefly in a wide pan until juices thicken.
  • Line a 9-inch pie dish with the bottom crust and fill with warm apples, mounding slightly in the center.
  • Top with the second crust, trim and crimp, cut vents, and brush with egg wash.
  • Bake 20 minutes at 425F, then 35 to 45 minutes at 375F until juices bubble thickly; cool fully before slicing.

Technique notes diff

  • Filling thickener | Starch binds released fruit juices. | Prevents soggy crust and loose filling.
  • Temperature control before and during bake | Consistent dough and oven temperature regulates steam release, set rate, and browning kinetics. | This recipe depends on crisp structure and even doneness rather than uneven browning.
