Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin pieces.

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.

Let the apple mixture sit for 10 minutes to release juices.

Roll out half of the pie crust and place it in a pie dish.

Fill the crust with the apple mixture, dotting with butter on top.

Roll out the second half of the pie crust and place over the filling.

Seal the edges and cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.

Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.

Remove from oven and let cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
