Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9-inch pie pan with half the pastry then prick the bottom and sides with a fork.
In a large saucepot, combine brown sugar, flour, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, lemon juice, and lemon rind. Add apples and toss to coat evenly. Slowly heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, just until sugar dissolves and apples begin to soften. Apples will cook down to about 6 cups.
Turn apple mixture into lined pie plate. Top with remaining pastry, as desired. Trim and flute edges. Make sure there are slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake 35-40 minutes or until crust is golden.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
Chef's Tip
We left the skins on our beautifully colored apples but apples may be peeled, if desired.
To give shine to the crust, an egg wash or cream wash is recommended. For an additional layer of flavor and texture, sprinkle Turbinado Sugar over the pie.
