2. **Prepare the Filling**
In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
### 3. **Roll Out the Bottom Crust**
Line a large rectangular or square baking sheet with one pie crust, pressing it into the corners.
### 4. **Add the Apple Filling**
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
### 5. **Top with Second Crust**
Place the second pie crust over the apples. Trim excess dough and pinch the edges to seal.
### 6. **Vent and Egg Wash**
Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
### 7. **Bake**
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
### 8. **Cool and Serve**
Allow the pie to cool before slicing into generous squares. Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
