Homemade Classic Apple Pie

Ingredients

• 1 prepared store-bought pie crust (If you wish to add lattice decoration, purchase a second pie crust)
• 6-7 Granny Smith apples
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup Bolner’s Fiesta Brand Sugar and Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Bolner’s Fiesta Brand Ground Cinnamon
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Optional: Extra white sugar for dusting the top

Instructions

1. Roll out your pie crust and place it into a lightly greased 9-to-10-inch pie pan. Pinch the edges to make it look nice.
2. Peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples.
3. In a bowl, toss together the sliced apples, brown sugar, Sugar and Cinnamon, Ground Cinnamon, lemon juice, flour, and cornstarch. Gently stir until everything is evenly coated. Allow the mixture to rest for 5-10 minutes.
4. With a slotted spoon, scoop the apple mixture into the crust. Be sure to strain as much excess liquid as possible into the bowl and not into the pie crust.
5. For lattice decoration, cover the top of the pie with the second pie crust, making slits so the pie can steam out extra liquid.
6. Beat the egg and brush the top of the pie crust with the egg. Sprinkle with additional Sugar and Cinnamon, if desired.
7. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake an additional 40-50 minutes. If the top of the pie crust appears to be getting too dark, lightly cover it with foil to prevent burning.
8. Allow the pie to cool or serve immediately. You can top it with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
