          \n\n\n\n

          Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Step 1: Preheat the Oven<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Preheat your oven to\u00a0400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C)\u00a0<\/strong>. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Step 2: Prepare the Apples<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Step 3: Assemble the Pie<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the apple slices in an overlapping pattern on one half of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Dot the apples with small pieces of butter for extra richness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Fold the other half of the pastry over the apples to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly and crimp with a fork to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Step 4: Add Finishing Touches<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Step 5: Bake<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Bake for\u00a020\u201325 minutes\u00a0<\/strong>, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky, and the filling is bubbling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    Step 6: Serve<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. Let the pie cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                      \n\n\n\n
