Instructions for Making a Perfect Apple Pie Recipe With Premade Crust
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line the bottom of your pie plate with one crust. Be sure to spread it out and then gently pinch the edges to crimp; set aside.
- Peel, slice apples almost to the core, and then slice them in thin slices. You do not want them thick or too chunky because they will not bake properly.
- Add apple slices to a large mixing bowl and toss with flour, both sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice; combine.
- Carefully pour spiced apples over the bottom pie crust and spray them out evenly. They will look pretty high.
- Add butter cubes around the top layer of the pie.
- Unwrap the pie’s top crust and carefully cover the pie. Pinch pie edges to crimp and seal the pie.
- Brush on the mixed egg wash on all surfaces of the top pie. You will not use the whole egg.
- Using a BBQ skewer, poke 4 holes in your pie center for venting. You can also make 4 slits with a knife.
- Bake the pie for 45 minutes with a pie shield to prevent the crust edges from over-browning.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 3 hours before cutting into it. Do not cover the pie when warm or the crust will get soggy. Only cover it once the pie is 100% cooled.
