Ingredients
- 6 apples, such as Ambrosia, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp water or milk
- 3⁄4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tbsp Apple Pie Spice
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1⁄4 tsp Sea Salt
- 2 deep dish frozen pie shells (9" each), defrosted
Preparation
- Peel and core apples; thinly slice. You should have about 8 cups. Place in Multipurpose Steamer . Cover and microwave on high for 4 min or until they start to soften. Uncover and refrigerate until cool, about 15 min. Stir in sugar, corn starch, apple pie spice, vinegar and salt; toss to coat.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425° F. Place one uncooked pie shell on Sheet Pan. In a small bowl, whisk egg with water.
- Turn cooled apples into pie shell on pan. Lightly brush rim of pastry with egg wash.
- Invert remaining shell (still in plate) overtop. Gently loosen dough from edges. Discard foil plate. Gently press dough edges together; crimp with tines of a fork.
- Generously brush top of pie with egg wash (discard any leftover). Using a knife, cut a few steam vents in top.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 min. Reduce heat to 375° F. Continue to bake until crust is deep golden, 30-40 min. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
