To make the filling, combine the apples with brown sugar, granulated sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Prepare a work surface by sprinkling a little bit of flour and then roll the bigger dough into a circle. Put it in a pie plate and refrigerate for half an hour before transferring the apples.
Roll the other dough into a smaller circle and put it over the apples. Brush the crust with egg and sprinkle with a little bit of sugar. Bake it until the crust turns golden brown.
