Instructions: 1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples, placing them in a large mixing bowl.Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
2. Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the sliced apples and toss until the apples are evenly coated.
3. Assemble the Pie: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out half of the pie pastry and line a 9-inch pie dish with it.
4. Add the Top Crust: Crimp the edges of the pie crust to seal the top and bottom crusts together. You can use your fingers or a fork to create a decorative edge.
5. Bake the Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve slices of apple pie warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
