Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
• On a floured surface, roll out one of the pie crusts.
• Lay the bottom crust over the pie plate and carefully push in the edges.
• Place the sliced apples in a large bowl, add the lemon juice, and gently toss.
• Add the apples to the pie plate.
• In a large saucepan, add butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, flour, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and vanilla.
• Cook over medium-high heat until gently boiling and then simmer for 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, and reserve 0.25 cup of the sauce; set aside.
• Pour remaining sauce over the apples in the pie plate; set aside.
• Roll out the top crust and cut into strips.
• Weave the strips over the top to create a lattice crust.
• Slowly and carefully pour the reserved 0.25-cup sauce over the top of the crust.
• Place the pie on a sheet pan and bake for 45 to 60 minutes.
• Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
