Apple Pie
This is a 5-star Apple Pie recipe I found on tasteofhome.com's website submitted by Maggie Greene. We made it for Thanksgiving (2017) and agree with it's "Contest Winner" status.

Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 7 red delicious apples substituted for granny smith
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 pie crusts 9 inches
- 1 tbsp vegan butter or margarine or butter if making dairy version
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 tsp sugar sprinkle
Instructions
DIRECTIONS
- In a small bowl, combine the sugars, flour and spices; set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat.
- Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom crust; trim pastry even with edge. Fill with apple mixture; dot with vegan butter (margarine or butter).
- Beat egg white until foamy; brush over pastry. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover edges loosely with foil.
- Bake at 375° for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 20-25 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.
- Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie (optional: roll out pie crust and cut 1" strips to make a lattice top crust). Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in pastry (if fully covered so it can steam out).
Notes
Yield: 8 servings.
I substitute butter with vegan butter or margarine to make the recipe dairy-free. I also use two frozen kosher 9" pie crusts. One is for the pie. The other used to cut strips to lattice the top.
We also used red delicious apples as we prefer a sweeter pie over a tart one.
