For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular melted butter. A splash of lemon juice can enhance the apple flavor illusion. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly decadent experience.

Line a 9-inch pie dish with the bottom pie crust. (5 minutes)

08
Step

Cover with the top pie crust, seal the edges by crimping or pressing with a fork, and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. (10 minutes)

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. (75 minutes)
