You will need:
Pie crust for 2-crust pie
6-7 cups apples, sliced thinly (about 5 pounds)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 Tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 Tablespoon butter
1 egg white, beaten
sugar for sprinkling
Peel, core, and thinly slice apples. Toss with lemon juice and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients in mixing bowl until no large lumps remain. Set aside.
Pat bottom crust into pie pan, being careful not to stretch too much. (it will shrink alot when it bakes if stretched)
Toss apples with dry mixture until well coated. Pour into crust, pressing down and mounding high in the middle. Dot with butter.
Place top crust onto lightly floured surface. Cut into strips. Alternately place strips on top of apples, weaving them together to make a nice pattern. Press edges together with bottom crust.
Place pie in oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375, and continue baking for 35 minutes.
Remove pie from oven. Brush crust with beaten egg white, sprinkle with sugar. Return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until brown and bubbly.
Let pie cool on rack for at least 1 hour. The pie will "firm up", making slicing easier.
Enjoy! And don't forget the vanilla ice cream!
