Apple Pie

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 425F.
2. 2
   In a large bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, flour, sugar, and cinnamon; set aside.
3. 3
   Roll out two pie crusts.
4. 4
   Place the bottom crust on a 9-inch pie plate, gently pressing the dough into the bottom of the pan.
5. 5
   Pour the apple mixture into the bottom crust and dot with the butter.
6. 6
   Cover the apples with the top crust, crimping the top and bottom crusts together all around and trimming off the excess dough.
7. 7
   With a small knife, cut vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape while the pie bakes.
8. 8
   Brush the top crust and the crimped edge with the egg yolk mixture.
9. 9
   This will help the top crust brown nicely.
10. 10
    Bake for about 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown all over.
11. 11
    Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
