Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform thin slices. Place them in a large bowl.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the apples. Stir to coat the apples thoroughly and set aside for about 15 minutes to let the juices develop.
Roll out one sheet of pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it fits snugly.
Sprinkle a tablespoon of flour over the bottom crust to absorb excess moisture from the fruit filling.
Heap the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, arranging them so there are no large gaps. Dot with small pieces of butter on top of the apples.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the apples. Trim the excess crust and crimp the edges together to seal.
Cut several slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush over the top of the pie to achieve a golden color when baked.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any overflow and put it in the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles.
Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
