Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds apples, (I use 3 varieties) peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
3 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
2 tablespoons Amaretto
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
5 teaspoons Butter cut into 5 pieces
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water or milk
Sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss first 10 ingredients together in bowl. Mound filling in pie dish. Place butter on top of filling. Invert second dough over filling. Pinch edges of dough to seal. Trim excess crust. Crimp edges decoratively. Cut 4 slashes in top of dough to allow steam to escape. Wisk together egg white and water (or milk) until frothy. Brush top with egg white mixture and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, covering with foil if browning too quickly, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
