Ingredients

Pie Crusts

  • 6–8 medium apples (cored, peeled, sliced into 1/2-inch slices)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten with 15ml milk)
  • optional coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions 

  • Prepare the pie crust and preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Mix sliced apples, lemon juice, flour, spices, sugar, and vanilla until combined; set aside.
  • Roll out one crust into a 12-inch circle, fit into a 9-inch pie dish, add filling, and dot with butter.
  • Cover with second crust, trim edges, cut slits, and crimp edges. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, then reduce to 375°F and bake for an additional 30–35 minutes. Cool for 3 hours before serving.

Notes

Allow the pie to cool fully to let the filling thicken before slicing.
