Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. 2.

   In a large bowl, combine apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.

3. 3.

   Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.

4. 4.

   Pour the apple mixture into the crust, mounding slightly in the center, and dot with butter.

5. 5.

   Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.

6. 6.

   Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

7. 7.

   Brush the top crust with beaten egg to create a golden finish.

8. 8.

   Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

9. 9.

   Let the pie cool on a wire rack before serving.
