Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
- On a floured surface, roll out one pie crust slightly larger than the pie plate.
- Lay the bottom crust over the pie plate and trim edges as needed.
- Slice apples and toss with lemon juice in a large bowl.
- Add apple slices to the pie plate and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, combine butter, sugars, water, flour, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and vanilla. Stir well.
- Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture gently boils, then simmer for 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and reserve 0.25 cup of sauce; pour remaining sauce over apples.
- Roll out the second crust into strips for lattice top.
- Weave the strips over the apples to create a lattice pattern.
- Slowly pour the reserved sauce over the lattice crust, brushing or spooning as needed.
- Bake the pie on a sheet pan for 45-60 minutes, or until crust is golden and bubbling inside.
- If edges brown too quickly, tent with foil, removing foil 5 minutes before baking ends.
- Cool completely before slicing. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
For best results, use a mixture of tart and sweet apples. To prevent overflow, bake on a sheet pan.
