★Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour two large pie pans (or one extra-large pie pan).
Prepare the dry ingredients* In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
Cut in the butter* Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Prepare the apples* Toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Set aside.
Mix the wet ingredients* In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until a dough forms.
Assemble the pies*
Divide the dough into two portions.
Roll out one portion and place it in the bottom of the prepared pie pan.
Arrange the apple slices on top of the dough in an even layer.
Top the pie: Roll out the second portion of dough and place it over the apples. Pinch the edges to seal, and cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Cool and serve: Let the pies cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Enjoy!
