Peel, core, and slice apples into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine apples, both sugars, 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, and spices.
Roll out one dough disk to fit bottom of 8-inch pie pan. Add apples, then dot with butter. Roll out second disk and carefully lay it on top of apples; crimp layers of dough together along the rim to seal edge. In a small bowl, whisk egg white until slightly frothy, then brush all over top crust. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut four or five holes in top layer of dough to allow air to escape. Bake 25 minutes, then lower heat to 3257deg; and bake 30 minutes more. If crust along edge is browning too quickly, cover edge with foil. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Potatoes Recipes
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Start to Finish Time: 90 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, divided
- 1-1/2 pounds russet or other baking potatoes
- Kosher or sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 425°. Brush bottom and sides of a 9-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet with about 1 tablespoon melted butter.
Peel potatoes. Using a mandoline, food processor, or sharp knife, slice potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick disks. Pat dry with paper towels; then quickly arrange slices in overlapping circular layers in pan. Brush each layer with butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently push potatoes down with a plate for a snug fit.
Remove plate; cover potatoes with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and golden, 30-35 minutes more.
Place a small cutting board or serving plate on top of pan. With oven mitts on, invert potato cake onto board or plate. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
