Directions:Heat oven to 450º. Peel, core and slice apples into 1/8 inch slices. Add to a large bowl.
In small bowl, whisk together sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle over apples and toss to coat.
Gently unroll one crust to cover the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Trim off excess crust around the edges. Ad apples and any juice from the bowl into the crust. Spread apples evenly in the pan. Dot butter over the apples. Gently unroll the other crust and place centered over the pie dish. Fold any overhand under the edge of the bottom crust and pinch to seal. Crimp to form a decorative edge. Cut three to four 3-inch slits in the top crust top allow it to vent.
Place pie on a rimmed balking sheet and place in the oven. Bake 10 minutes at 450º, then reduce to 350º and bake an additional 50 minutes. If the edges brown too quickly, cover with strips of aluminum foil. Allow to cool completely,2 - 3 hours, before slicing. The filling will thicken as it cools.
