Method
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and arrange a rack near the bottom of oven. Fit one pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, without trimming and leaving overhang. Brush bottom and up sides of crust with beaten egg white. Set aside. In a bowl, combine walnuts, brown sugar, egg, milk, soft butter and vanilla extract; mix well. Spreadevenly over bottom of the pie crust. In a large bowl, combine apples and lemon juice; toss lightly. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; add to apples. Toss well to combine and spoon over walnuts. Sprinkle with diced butter. Moisten crust edge with water and cover with second crust. Trim to 1/2-inch beyond edge of pie, fold top crust under bottom crust to seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top crust to vent; bake for 50 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Cover crust edge with foil, if necessary, to prevent browning. Cool pie on a rack until barely warm or to room temperature before serving.
Notes: Combining tart Granny Smith apples with sweet Golden Delicious strikes the perfect balance.
