Ingredients:
For the Pie:
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)
- 5-6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or jelly roll pan.
- Prepare the Bottom Crust: Roll out one pie crust to fit the bottom of the pan. Press into the pan and slightly up the edges.
- Make the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the apple filling over the bottom crust and spread evenly. Dot with butter pieces. Roll out the second crust and lay it over the apples. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top crust to vent.
- Bake: Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Cool completely before glazing.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled pie.
- Serve: Cut into squares and serve as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
