Ingredients: 2 pie shells (1 if you want an open-faced pie),4 mediums apples, peel, cored, quartered and sliced,small piece of fresh ginger, a little less than an inch or so,,1 lemon, juiced,cup sugar (I used half brown and half white),1 tablespoon ground cinnamon,teaspoon ground nutmeg (depending on how much you like the spice),1 tablespoon flour,1 egg wash, optional (1 egg white and a tsp of water),pinches of sugar for sprinkles,pinches of sugar for sprinkles,pinches of sugar for sprinkles
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 375*F
- If you are using frozen pie shells (yes… I cheated… LOL) thaw them out on the counter for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the prepared apple slices, ginger, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour together. Put everything into the first pie shell.
- Take the second pie shell and drape over the pie. Make a cross in the middle for the steam to escape while the pie bakes.
- Brush egg wash on top, and sprinkle some sugar on top, liberally.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or so, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
