- Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the top of the apple mixture. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges together to seal the pie.

- In a small bowl, beat the egg white until frothy. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg white, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to catch any drips, and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
