An Official New Mexico State Pie?

2 unbaked pastry crusts

5 to 6 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (we use ½ Granny Smith and ½ Fuji or Gala; any apple will work except Red Delicious)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ cup sugar (more if using only tart apples)

2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 to 3 tablespoons cornstarch or flour (depending on how juicy the apple/chile mix becomes)

½ to 1 cup green chile, roasted and chopped, drained if using frozen (medium heat preferred)

¾ cup piñon or pine nuts, toasted

1 to 2 tablespoons butter, cubed

1 egg white, mixed with 3 tablespoons water for egg wash (optional)

1 to 2 teaspoons decorating sugar or table sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)
