Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons ice water
• 6 cups apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 unit egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt for the crust.

Step 2

Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out one dough disc into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer it to the dish and press it into place.

Step 8

Fill the crust with the apple filling, mounding it slightly in the center.

Step 9

Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the apples. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.

Step 10

Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.

Step 12

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

Step 13

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Step 14

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
