Deep-Dish Apple Pie

Ingredients

1 recipe CLASSIC DOUBLE-CRUST PIE DOUGH
2-1⁄2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1⁄4 inch thick
2-1⁄2 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1⁄4 inch thick
1⁄2 cup (3-1⁄2 ounces) plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1⁄4 cup packed (1-3⁄4 ounces) light brown sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon juice
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg white, lightly beaten

Instructions

Roll 1 disk of dough into 12-inch circle on lightly floured counter. Loosely roll dough around rolling pin and gently unroll it onto 9-inch pie plate, letting excess dough hang over edge. Ease dough into plate by gently lifting edge of dough with 1 hand while pressing into plate bottom with other hand. Leave any dough that overhangs plate in place. Wrap dough-lined pie plate loosely in plastic wrap and refrigerate until dough is firm, about 30 minutes. Roll other disk of dough into 12-inch circle on lightly floured counter, then transfer to parchment paper–lined baking sheet; cover with plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Toss apples, 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon zest, salt, and cinnamon together in Dutch oven. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until apples are tender when poked with fork but still hold their shape, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer apples and their juices to rimmed baking sheet and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Adjust oven rack to lowest position, place rimmed baking sheet on rack, and heat oven to 425 degrees. Drain cooled apples thoroughly in colander, reserving 1⁄4 cup of juice. Stir lemon juice into reserved juice.
Spread apples into dough-lined pie plate, mounding them slightly in middle, and drizzle with lemon juice mixture. Loosely roll remaining dough round around rolling pin and gently unroll it onto filling. Trim overhang to 1⁄2 inch beyond lip of pie plate. Pinch edges of top and bottom dough crusts firmly together. Tuck overhang under itself; folded edge should be flush with edge of pie plate. Crimp dough evenly around edge of pie using your fingers. Cut four 2-inch slits in top of dough. Brush surface with beaten egg white and sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
Place pie on heated baking sheet and bake until crust is light golden brown, about 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees, rotate baking sheet, and continue to bake until juices are bubbling and crust is deep golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes longer. Let pie cool on wire rack until filling has set, about 2 hours; serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
