3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 sheets pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
Toss the mixture thoroughly until the apples are evenly coated.
Place one sheet of pie crust into a nine-inch pie dish.
Pour the apple mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.

Crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal.
Bake for 50 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
