  • Wet the edge of the crust with cold water, and put your second crust on the top. Lightly press the edges to seal. Using a knife, trim off the extra crust (you can use this to make a tiny personal pie crust). Crimp the edges.
  • Cut a few slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  • Brush cream or egg yolk on the top crust and sprinkle it with sugar for an extra shine and beautiful browning.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes at 400°. reduce the temperature to 350°, and continue baking for another 50 - 55 minutes.
  • Loosely cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

Notes

Apples can be thinly sliced rather than chopped if desired.
If you want an extra depth of flavor you can add a pinch of nutmeg and cloves, but be careful, they can quickly overpower your flavor.
 Apple pie is great served warm with ice cream, or cold.
