Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Plate: Start by setting aside a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  3. Cook the Apples: In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the ¼ cup of butter and add the 8 cups of thinly sliced apples.

  10. Top the Pie: Roll out the second disc of pie dough and place it over the apple filling.
  11. Cut Vents: Cut some vents in the top crust for steam to escape.
  12. Trim and Crimp the Edges: Trim excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the filling.
  13. Add the Egg Wash: Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle coarse sugar if desired.
  14. Bake the Pie: Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350°F and bake for 40 minutes.
