Just a few ingredients, I like to use the refrigerated pie crusts you can buy from the store - they're very convenient and taste great!

Recipe walkthrough: Instructions

This is an overview of the recipe steps. For more detailed instructions visit the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Step 1: Lay the first pie crust into a 9" Pie Dish. Brush with egg white and set aside.
• Step 2: Peel, core and slice the apples and put into a resealable bag with the flour, sugar and cinnamon and shake it up.
• Step 3: Add the apple slices and flour mixture (apple filling) to the pie dish on top of the pie crust, spread out evenly.
• Step 4: Take the second pie crust and roll it out on a floured work surface, cut into ½" strips and layer over the top of the apples. Weave the pie crust and brush with the remaining egg white.

Recipe variations and substitute ideas

• Apples - there are so many apple varieties out there, I like to use Golden Delicious or Gala apples but you could use granny smith apples, cortland apples, honey crisp or any other that you prefer.
• Pie Crust - if you prefer to make your own pie crust this recipe will still work well with a homemade pie crust.
• Nutmeg - add a pinch of nutmeg for another flavor dimension.
• Lemon Juice - Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the apples if you like to cut the sweetness.
• Brown Sugar - Brown sugar can be used in place of the granulated sugar, but it adds a different texture due to the molasses.

How to store leftovers

Cover the apple pie with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Mel's kitchen notes

Place a piece of foil over the top crust for the first 10 minutes to avoid overcooking the crust.
Use any excess dough and create a cute little decoration on top (e.g. leaves).
