Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and then gently unroll one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Sprinkle two tablespoons of flour over the bottom crust.
Filling
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss until the apples are evenly coated with the sugar and spice mixture, ensuring each slice is well covered.
- Pour the apple mixture into the flour-dusted pie crust in the pie plate. Arrange the apples so they form a slight mound in the center, as they will cook down during baking.
Assembly and Baking
- Carefully place the second pie crust over the apple filling. Trim any excess dough from the edges, leaving about a half-inch overhang, and crimp the edges to seal them. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and tender. Cool the pie on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the filling to set.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of lemon juice to the apple filling. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil.
