👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Apples
Peel and slice the apples thinly so they cook down soft and silky. Toss with lemon juice, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Let them sit 10 minutes to release their juices.
2. Make the Melt-Away Filling
Add butter to a pan over medium heat. Stir in the apples. Sprinkle cornstarch over the mixture and cook until the apples soften and the juices thicken into a glossy sauce.
3. Assemble the Pie
Place your crust into a pie dish, fill it with the warm apple mixture, and top with the second crust or a lattice design. Seal the edges and cut small vents for steam.
4. Bake
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, then lower to 350°F (175°C) and bake another 30–35 minutes until golden and bubbling.
5. Cool… Then Enjoy
Let the pie rest so the filling settles into that melt-in-your-mouth texture everyone loves.
