Creating The Best Homemade Apple Pie is easy with these clear instructions. Follow these steps for delicious results:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin pieces. Place them in a large bowl.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well to mix.
4. Toss the Apples: Pour the sugar mixture over the apples, tossing to coat evenly. Let sit for about 10 minutes to release juices.
5. Prepare the Pie Crust: Unroll one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges as needed.
6. Fill the Pie: Pour the apple mixture into the crust, mounding it slightly in the center. Dot with butter pieces.
7. Add the Top Crust: Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
8. Brush with Egg: Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash over the top crust and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
9. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
10. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. This step allows the filling to set.

These steps will lead you to create an incredible homemade apple pie that everyone will adore.
