🍎 Easy American Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients:
- 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

- Add flavor: Mix apples with white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice. Toss until evenly coated.

- Add apple filling: Pour the apple mixture into the crust. Dot with small pieces of butter.
