Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 0.5 cup Ice water
• 6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Add the diced butter into the bowl and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix the flour and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough holds together when pressed. Be careful not to add too much water.

Step 4

Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour until well coated.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Carefully place it into a 9-inch pie plate.

Step 8

Add the apple mixture into the pie crust, mounding slightly in the center.

Step 9

Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges together to seal.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Whisk together the egg yolk and milk in a small bowl, and brush over the crust.

Step 12

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 13

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your classic apple pie!
