Boston Apple Pie

Ingredients

Turbinado sugar

1 tablespoon

Egg

1, beaten (for egg wash)

Unsalted butter

2 tablespoons, cut into small pieces

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon

Cinnamon

1 teaspoon

All-purpose flour

1/4 cup

Brown sugar

1/4 cup

Granulated sugar

3/4 cup

Apples

6 cups, peeled, cored, and sliced

Pie crust

2 (9-inch) crusts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to ensure every apple slice is coated.
4. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust in the dish.
5. Scatter small pieces of unsalted butter over the top of the apple filling.
6. Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
7. Using a sharp knife, cut a few slits on the top crust. This will allow steam to escape during baking.
8. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg. This gives the pie a beautiful golden finish.
9. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the egg-washed crust for a crunchy, sweet top.
10. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
11. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This helps the filling thicken.
12. Serve the pie warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this taste of Boston!
