Peel and core the 4 Granny Smith apples.

Slice the apples into about 1/8 inch slices.

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, between 1/8 and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 3 tablespoons corn starch.

Toss the apple mixture with your hands to coat the apples evenly.

Set the apple mixture aside.

Take the rolled pie crusts out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature.

Place one rolled pie crust into a 9-inch deep dish metal pie pan, being careful not to stretch the dough.

Trim any excess dough from the edges of the crust.

Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, ensuring to include all the liquid.

Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the apple filling.

Pinch the edges of the top crust over the bottom crust to seal it.

Create a decorative edge by pinching the crust or using a fork.

Cut three or four vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
