Step-by-Step Instructions for Classic Homemade Apple Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare your 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Melt ¼ cup of butter in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add in the apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes until apples are tender.
  3. Roll out one disc of pie dough and place it into the pie plate.
  4. Pour the cooled apple filling into the pie crust and cover with the second rolled disc, trimming and crimping the edges.
  5. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 40 minutes.
  6. Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
