- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- Melt ¼ cup butter in a large pot over medium-low heat.
- Add 8 cups thinly sliced apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Cook the apple mixture, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Roll out one disc of prepared pie dough to fit the pie plate and transfer it to the plate.
- Whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
