Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
Toss peeled apple slices with lemon juice in another bowl. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples and toss until coated.
Place one pie crust in a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Fill with the apple mixture and dot with butter.
Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges securely. Cut slits in the top for steam to escape.
Brush the top with beaten egg white and sprinkle with additional sugar.
Bake covered with foil for 25 minutes; then uncover and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
