- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar

Serves: 6-8

Cooking Tips:

- Use cold butter and ice water to ensure a flaky crust.

3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. In a medium bowl, toss together apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
6. Arrange apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges of dough over the filling, pleating as necessary.
