Directions: |
Directions:Mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, zest, and spices in a large Dutch oven; add apples and toss to combine. Cover and cook over medium heat, simmering gently and stirring frequently, until the apples are tender when poked with a fork but still hold their shape, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the apples in a large colander, shaking vigorously to drain off as much juice as possible. Allow to sit and cool.
While the apples are cooling, roll out your crusts and prepare your pie plate. Also, preheat your oven to 425º and place an empty rimmed baking sheet at the rack at the lowest position.
When the apples have cooled, transfer them to the prepared, dough-lined pie plate. Sprinkle the apples with the lemon juice. (I also like to add a few pieces of cold diced butter.)
Place the remaining prepared dough on top of the apples and pinch the bottom and top crusts firmly together. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg white and sprinkle evenly with the coarse sugar.
Set the pie on the preheated baking sheet. Bake until the crust is a deep golden brown, about 45-55 minutes. Transfer the pie to a wire rack and cool at least 2 hours. Cut into wedges and serve. |
