- 2 medium Honeycrisp apples, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

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.
