Recreating McDonald’s Apple Pie at home is easy if you follow these step-by-step procedures:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir well to ensure the apples are evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
3. Roll Out the Pie Crust: On a clean surface, roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess edges.
4. Add the Filling: Pour the apple mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly. Dot with small pieces of butter on top.
5. Top the Pie: Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal securely. Cut slits in the top to create a vent.
6. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the mixture over the top crust for a beautiful golden finish.
7. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
8. Cool Down: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll have a delicious pie that tastes incredibly similar to the McDonald’s favorite!
