Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, toss the sliced granny_smith_apples with granulated_sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon_juice.
Roll out one pie_crust disk and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate.
Mound the apple filling into the crust. Dot the top with bits of unsalted_butter.
Roll out the second crust and place over the apples. Trim, crimp edges to seal, and cut slits in the top for steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with egg_wash and sprinkle with a little extra sugar.
Bake for 45-55 minutes until crust is golden and juice bubbles through the slits. (Use a pie shield if edges burn).
Cool on a rack for at least 2 hours before slicing to let filling set.
