Instructions
Creating the Apple Pie Ring is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to make your own:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are well-coated.
4. Roll Out the Dough: Unroll one pie crust and place it on a floured surface. Roll it out slightly to fit your baking dish.
5. Create the Ring Shape: Cut the dough into a large circle (about 12 inches in diameter). Place it in a round baking dish, leaving the excess dough hanging over the edges.
6. Fill with Apples: Layer the apple mixture in the center of the dough, creating a mound.
7. Fold the Dough: Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, creating a ring shape. Leave the center open to showcase the apples.
8. Brush with Butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the exposed apples and crust.
9. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush this mixture over the crust for a golden finish.
10. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
11. Cool Down: Once baked, remove the Apple Pie Ring from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
