Ingredients

• 6 medium-sized Pink Lady apples
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 30 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 30 grams unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 120 milliliters heavy cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 drop pink food coloring (optional)
• 1 9-inch pre-made or homemade pie crust
• 1 batch egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the Pink Lady apples, then set them aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the sliced apples and toss until the apple slices are evenly coated.

Step 5

Unroll or roll out your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges of the dish.

Step 6

Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, spreading it out evenly in the dish.

Step 7

Dot the apple filling with small pieces of butter.

Step 8

In another small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, vanilla extract, and optional pink food coloring until smooth.

Step 9

Pour the cream mixture evenly over the apple filling.

Step 10

If using a double crust, roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Alternatively, create a lattice top. Trim and seal the edges, crimping them as desired.

Step 11

Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 12

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 13

Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 14

If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil halfway through the baking process.

Step 15

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set before slicing.

Step 16

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Pink Lady Pie!
