Ingredients
  

  • 2 sheets pie crust
  • 5-6 apples
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp butter cut into small pieces

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Take your first sheet of pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie plate. Make sure to press the crust into the pan so that it is even and flat. Trim edges where necessary.
  • Core and peel your apples. Cut apples into quarters. From each quarter, slice apples and cut slices in half.
  • In a bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and vanilla extract.
  • Add apples to bowl and stir to thoroughly coat apples in mixture.
  • Pour apples into pie crust.
  • Cut tbsp of butter into small pieces and spread out on top of the apples.
  • Cut the second sheet of pie crust into strips about ¼-½ inch in width.
  • Place strips vertically on top of the apples spread out with about ¼-½ inch between them.
  • Fold the center strip up and place a strip horizontally in the middle of the pie. Fold first strip back over the new strip. Do this for ever other vertical strip alternating between, over, under, over, etc.
  • Repeat until whole pie has lattice top. Pinch edges together and trim where needed.
  • If doing an egg wash, beat an egg and brush the beaten egg on top of the crust. This helps the crust have the shiny appearance.
  • Bake pie for 50-60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and pie filling seems to be bubbling/oozing. If your edges are browning too quickly, you can cover with some tin foil.
  • Allow pie to cool for 15 minutes or more before serving.
