Ingredients
- 2 pre-made pie crusts (9-inch diameter)
- 5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup tapioca flour or corn starch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 egg, whipped, for egg wash
- Raw sugar crystals (optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a pie dish with 1 pre-made pie crust. Roll out remaining pie crust into a 9-inch square, then slice into thick strips and set aside.
Place apple slices in a large bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, combine sugars, tapioca flour or corn starch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add mixture to apples and toss together. Add vanilla and cream and stir to combine.
Melt butter in a heavy skillet, then add apple mixture and cook for about 4 minutes, until slightly softened.
Pour cooked mixture into prepared pie dish. Layer dough strips over the apples in a lattice pattern, alternating over and under with each strip. Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with raw sugar crystals if desired.
Place pie on a sheet pan to avoid spillage and bake for 45–55 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
