Add Sugar and Spices: To the apples, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Also, add the brown sugar. To ensure that the apples are uniformly coated, mix well.
Increase the thickness of the filling by sprinkling the apple mixture with flour or cornstarch and then tossing the mixture to incorporate. As a result, the liquids that are produced by the apples throughout the baking process are thickened.
Putting Together the Pie
Dispensing the dough in a roll
To make the bottom crust, roll out one disk of dough into a circle that is about 12 inches in diameter on a surface that has been dusted with flour. Place it in a pie dish of 9 inches in diameter and press it lightly onto the bottom and edges of the dish.
Proceed to Add Filling: After the crust has been made, pour the apple filling into it and smooth it out evenly.
Varieties of Toppings
The Double Curve
Take the second disk of dough and roll it out into a circle. This will be the top crust. Spread it out on top of the apples.
Seal and Ventilate: After trimming away any leftover dough, squeeze the sides together to create a seal. It is necessary to create a few tiny vents in the top crust in order to release the steam.
Layers of Lattice
Cut the second disk of dough into strips by rolling it out and cutting it into strips that are about half an inch wide.
Lay half of the strips over the pie in one direction, and then weave the remaining strips over and under the first set to form a lattice pattern. Finally, lay the remaining strips over the pie in the other manner.
The topping of Streusel
Produce Streusel by: To make a crumbly mixture, combine the flour, sugar, and butter.
The streusel mixture should be spread out evenly over the apple filling before being sprinkled on top.
Doing the Pie Baking
The Instructions for Baking
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
To bake the pie, place it on a baking sheet so that any drips that may occur can be caught. The crust should be golden brown and the filling should be bubbling after 20 to 25 minutes of baking. After that, decrease the temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and continue baking for an additional 30 to 35 minutes.
Putting to Rest and Serving
Let the pie cool for at least two hours before slicing it. The pie should be allowed to cool completely. This aids in the filling’s ability to set.
The pie may be served either warm or at room temperature, and it can be accompanied with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop
