Instructions
Roll 2 sheets of pie dough to fill the bottom of a 15 x 10 x 1 baking pan. Use pieces of third crust to patch in areas as necessary.
Mix apples, lemon juice, and vanilla. Pour half of apple mixture into pan.
Combine sugars, cinnamon and salt. Top with the first half of apples. Add remainder of apple mixture, cover with remaining sugar mixture and dot with butter.
Roll out remaining crust and cover apple mixture. Seal edges. Brush with milk and cut several slits throughout the pie to allow steam to escape.
Bake at 375 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool for ten minutes. Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle.
Pie Dough Tips: Be sure to set the pie crust out at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before using. If you skip this step the pie crust will crack and break.I use refrigerated pie dough. I roll it into a thin rectangle and patch in using the third pie crust.Super fast shortcut - If you don't want to mess with rolling the dough, you can use two crusts and place on bottom and top. There will be some areas without crust, but the results are still really yummy!
