🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

Take a pie shell from refrigeration.

Fill the pie shell with sliced apples, flour, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Drape the top crust over the filling, ensuring it covers the outer perimeter.

Tuck the top crust underneath the bottom crust to keep juices in the pie.

Flute the edges by pressing two fingers of one hand and the thumb of the other into the hollow space around the edge.

Brush the top surface of the crust with a dry brush dipped in milk.

Sprinkle sparkling sugar over the top for shine and sweetness.

Make a few incisions in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Bake at 420°F for 15 minutes.

Lower the temperature and continue baking for about 40 minutes until the crust is golden.
