Easy Apple Pie (Edit recipe)

Prepare the filling and crust

1. Preheat your oven to 400F.
2. Combine in a large bowl the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, flour, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until apples are well coated.
3. Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a deep 9-inch pie dish. Leave the excess hanging over the edges.
4. Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Create the trellis top and bake

1. Roll out the second pie crust. Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
2. Lay half of the strips over the pie, evenly spaced, in one direction.
3. Fold back every other strip gently, and lay another strip of dough perpendicular to the ones already on the pie. Unfold the strips over the new strip.
4. Repeat this process, alternating strips until the pie is covered with a trellis pattern.
5. Trim any excess dough from the strips and press the edges of the crust together to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork or your fingers.
6. Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl. Brush this egg wash over the trellis top and edges of the pie.
7. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake at 400u00b0F for 20 minutes.
8. Reduce the temperature to 350u00b0F and cover edges with aluminum foil to prevent them from browning too quickly. Continue baking for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. **See notes below**
9. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the filling set and ensures a thick, saucy consistency.
10. Sprinkle with sugar before serving
