Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and cut the apples into slices. They ought to be put in a large bowl.
Add Sugar and Spices: Add the lemon juice, brown sugar, granulated sugar, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and salt to the apples. Stir in the brown sugar as well. Mix thoroughly to ensure that the apples are coated evenly.
To make the filling thicker, add a pinch of flour or cornstarch to the apple mixture and toss to blend well. Consequently, during the baking process, the apples create liquids that thicken.
Assembly of the Pie
Pouring the mixture into a roll
One disk of dough should be rolled out into a circle about 12 inches in diameter on a floured board to produce the bottom crust. Transfer it to a 9-inch-diameter pie dish and gently press it into the bottom and sides of the dish.
Step 3: Add Filling: Once the crust is formed, add the apple filling and even out the surface.
Different Toppings
The Bilateral Curve
Roll out the second dough disk into a round shape. The top crust will be this. Place it evenly over the apples.
Seal and Ventilate: Press the edges together to form a seal, then trim off any excess dough. To release the steam, you will need to make a few tiny vents in the top crust.
Lattice Layers
After rolling out the second disk of dough, cut it into strips that are around half an inch broad.
To create a lattice design, lay half of the strips over the pie in one direction, and then weave the remaining strips under and over the first set. Lastly, cover the pie with the remaining strips using the alternate technique.
The streusel topping
To make streusel, mix the butter, sugar, and flour into a crumbly consistency.
Before adding the streusel mixture on top, make sure it is properly distributed over the apple filling.
Baking Pies
The Baking Instructions
Turn the oven on at 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) to begin preheating.
To ensure that all potential drips are collected, bake the pie on a baking sheet. After 20 to 25 minutes of baking, the crust should be golden brown and the filling should be boiling. Then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and bake for a further thirty to thirty-five minutes.
Resting and Preparing for Service
Before slicing, allow the pie to cool for at least two hours. Let the pie cool fully before cutting. This facilitates the setting of the filler.
You can serve the pie warm or room temperature, and you can serve it with a dollop or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
