2 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

- Preheat oven to 425degrees.
- Wash, peel, and chop apples into large chunks. Make sure the chunks are about the same size.

- Brush the top of the pie with egg white (helps with the browning of the crust).
- Sprinkle top of pie with sugar.
- Place pie on a cookie tray to prevent spillage when baking.
- Bake pie for 1hr. Check the pie at 45min. If the crust edge is getting too brown, cover the edge with aluminum foil.
