Make a single recipe of perfect pie dough. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. With lightly floured hands, pinch the edge of the crust to form a scalloped look like peaks ‘n’ valleys. Freeze 10 minutes.

  • Peel, core, and cut into 1/4 in. slices 2 1/2 lbs. mixed apples (Gala and Granny Smith).
  • In a large bowl toss together apples with 1/2c light brown sugar, 3 Tbsp. flour, 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract, 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice and 1 tsp. cinnamon.
  • Arrange apples in dough in concentric circles. Brush top edges of dough with egg white and sprinkle with raw sugar.
  • Bake in middle of oven for 40-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. If crust starts to get too brown, cover loosely with foil.
  • When cooked, transfer pie to cooling rack and brush apples with 2 Tbsp. apricot jam, melted. Slice and serve slightly warm or cool.
