Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Apples:
   • Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
   • Toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon zest until well coated.
3. Roll Out Puff Pastry:
   • Roll out one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit the size of your baking sheet.
   • Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Layer Apple Slices:
   • Arrange the apple slices evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Seal with Second Pastry:
   • Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the apple slices.
   • Press the edges of the two sheets of pastry together to seal them.
6. Brush with Melted Butter:
   • Brush the melted butter over the top of the pie.
7. Make Small Slits:
   • Use a sharp knife to make a few small slits on the top pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
8. Bake:
   • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
9. Cool and Decorate:
   • Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
   • Optionally, dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
10. Serve:
    • Serve the Venetian apple pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
