Preparation

  1. Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface, place it in a 9-inch pie plate, and fill it with the sliced apples mixed with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour.
  2. Sprinkle the toffee bits evenly over the apple mixture.
  3. Roll out the second disc of dough and create a lattice top or cover it with another piece of rolled-out dough. Trim and crimp the edges.
  4. Brush the crust with beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35-45 minutes until the apples are soft and the crust is golden brown.
  2. Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
