Apple pie

I made an apple pie this weekend. I am very happy with how it turned out. Usually my edges are very dark brown, but not this time!



Ingredients

* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
* 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 7 cups thinly sliced pared apples
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1 Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
* 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
* 1 egg white
* Additional sugar

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour and spices; set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss well to coat. Line a 9-in. pie pan with half the pastry. Place apple filling into crust; dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie. Cut a few slits in top. beat egg white until foamy; brush over pastry. Sprinkle sugar on top. Bake at 375 degrees F for 35 minutes. Increase temperature to 400 degrees F and bake 10-15 minutes more or until golden.
