Vermont Apple Pie

Ingredients

• 3 pounds peeled, cored, sliced tart apples
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• Pinch nutmeg
• 2 (9-inch) piecrusts
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, flour, and nutmeg. Place 1 of the piecrusts into a 9-inch pie plate. Place the apple mixture into the piecrust and cover with a crust top. Add butter into apples, if desired. Combine the egg and water and beat to make an egg glaze. Brush the top crust with the egg glaze for a nice glossy appearance. Bake in the oven for 50 to 55 minutes. Make sure to place pie on a tray to prevent juices from spilling into the oven.

Test pie with a sharp knife to feel if apples are tender enough for your taste. If necessary cook pie for 5 minutes more and test again. Repeat process if desired.

Cool and serve with ice cream or any of your favorite toppings.
