- 2 discs all-butter pie crust
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water

## Steps

1. [0:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=20s) Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2. [0:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=28s) Whisk in the flour and let it simmer for 1 minute while whisking constantly.
3. [0:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=34s) Whisk in the water and sugar, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
4. [1:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=100s) Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples to yield about 7 cups.
5. [2:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=134s) Toss the sliced apples with ground cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
6. [2:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=146s) Pour the prepared caramel sauce over the apples and stir to coat them evenly.
7. [3:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=218s) Roll out the first pie crust disc on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle.
8. [3:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=234s) Transfer the rolled crust to a pie plate and press it gently into the bottom and sides.
9. [4:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=255s) Fill the crust with the apple mixture, mounding it slightly in the center.
10. [5:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=311s) Roll out the second pie crust disc to an 11-inch circle.
11. [5:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=343s) Cut the second crust into 10 even strips using a pizza cutter.
12. [5:49](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=349s) Weave the strips over the apple filling to create a lattice pattern.
13. [6:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=418s) Tuck the excess dough edges into the pan and crimp the border to seal.
14. [7:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=447s) Whisk together the egg and water, then brush the egg wash over the lattice crust.
15. [8:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbyahTnzbKA&t=501s) Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 45 minutes.
16. Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before slicing to allow the filling to set.
