Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Flour a work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough. Place the dough into a 9-inch pie dish. Tuck the dough in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth and there aren't any bubbles. Place in the fridge.
  • Roll out the other pie dough until you have a disc that is 12 inches in diameter. Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into ½ inch strips. Remove every other strip and use them to weave a lattice pattern across the dough. Gently push your rolling pin over the finished lattice to help it hold together (do not press hard). Place back in the fridge.
  • Combine the apple slices, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, and salt together in a medium pot and cook on medium heat stirring gently till apples are softening. Set aside.
  • Spoon the cooked apples into the prepared baking dish and in one movement place the lattice across the pie. Crimp the edges to bring the lattice and base crust together.
  • Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle a bit of coarse sugar (if desired for a nice finish).
  • Place the apple pie on a baking sheet then bake in the lower rack of your oven (this helps cook the bottom crust).
  • After 25 minutes without opening the oven reduce the oven temperature to 375°F. Add a pie shield if needed and bake another 40 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the lattice is browned.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving.
