Ingredients

2
pieces Sylvia's Perfect Pie Crust, thawed slightly
1/3 cup
all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3
Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
3
Bosc pears, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/3 cup
granulated sugar
1/4 tsp.
salt
1
large egg, beaten
Coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat the oven to 375 ̊. Roll out 1 piece of dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch round, starting at the center and working your way out. (Sprinkle flour over the top of the dough if it’s a bit too moist.) Carefully lift the dough with a spatula and place in a 9-inch pie pan; gently press against the sides of the pan. Tuck the excess dough underneath itself.
2. Step 2In a large bowl, mix the apples, pears, lemon juice, granulated sugar, flour and salt. Roll out the other piece of dough into a 12-inch round on a floured surface. Cut into twelve 1-inch-wide strips; discard both of the short ends.
3. Step 3Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust. Arrange 5 strips of dough in parallel rows on top of the filling. Working with one strip at a time, arrange the remaining 5 strips perpendicular to the first ones, weaving the strips over and under to form a lattice. Trim the ends of the strips and press them against the bottom crust. Crimp the crust edges with your fingers. Brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
4. Step 4Cover the crust edges with strips of foil and bake the pie for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the apples and pears are softened and the liquid is bubbly, about 50 more minutes. (Cover the edges with foil again if the crust is getting too dark.) Allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving.
