- 8 medium apples (Granny Smith + Honeycrisp mix), peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine sliced apples with sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla, and lemon juice. Toss until evenly coated and let rest for 10 minutes.
