Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- 6 cups sliced apples Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Black sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Toss the sliced apples with sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a large bowl until glossy and evenly coated.
- Line a 9-inch pie dish with one crust, pressing it gently into the corners, then fill with the apple mixture.
- Cut the second crust into strips, weave into a lattice over the filling, seal the edges, and sprinkle generously with black sugar.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles at the edges, covering loosely with foil if it browns too quickly.
- Cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
