Wash the apples thoroughly to remove any bacteria.

Peel the apples using a potato peeler.

Cut the apples into fourths and place them in a bowl of lemon water to prevent browning.

Chop the apples into desired size using a chopper, ensuring they are not too small to avoid mushiness.

In a bowl, mix 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.

Add the chopped apples to the bowl and mix to coat them with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Pre-bake the pie crust in the oven for about 5 minutes to slightly cook it.

Add the apple mixture to the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top of the apple mixture.

Dot the top of the apples with 2 tablespoons of butter, dabbing it on top.

Prepare an egg wash by whisking together 1 egg and a little water.

Seal the pie crust edges by tucking them under and using a fork to crimp the edges.

Make slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Place the pie in a preheated 350°F oven and bake for 1 hour.
