2. Prepare Apples:

   • Peel, core, and slice the tart apples thinly and thickly.
   • Toss the apple slices with lemon juice to keep them from browning, if desired.

3. Mix Filling:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
   • Gently toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated with the mixture.

4. Prepare Crust:

   • Line a 9-inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts.
   • Pour the apple filling into the crust-lined pie plate.
   • Dot the top of the filling with butter for that extra richness.

5. Top with Crust:

   • Place the second pie crust on top of the apple filling.
   • Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or pinching with your fingers.
   • Create vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

6. Bake:

   • Cover the edges of the pie with a narrow band of aluminum foil, shiny side out, to prevent excessive browning.
   • Place the pie in the preheated oven.
   • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for the first 20 minutes.
   • After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
   • Continue baking for an additional 30-40 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is a beautiful golden brown.

7. Final Touches:

   • If the edges of the crust are browning too quickly, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
   • This will allow the edges to turn a lovely golden brown.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked to perfection, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly.
   • Slice into generous portions and serve warm.
   • Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat!

Notes and Tips

• Choosing Apples: The best apples for pies are often those that are too tart and firm for snacking. Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Jonathan apples work wonderfully.

• Pie Crust: Use your favorite homemade pie crust recipe or store-bought for convenience.

• Make-Ahead: This pie can be assembled and kept in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. This is perfect for prepping ahead for a dinner party or gathering.

• Storage: Any leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a comforting treat.
