Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Ice water
• 6 medium Granny Smith apples
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or two forks, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the ice water gradually, mixing just until the dough holds together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Split the dough in half, shape each into a disk, and wrap them in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 7

Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges and place in a large bowl.

Step 8

Add lemon juice to the apples and toss to coat, which prevents browning.

Step 9

In a smaller bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.

Step 10

Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples and stir to coat evenly.

Step 11

On a floured surface, roll out one dough disk to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer to the dish and trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 12

Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, ensuring the slices are evenly distributed.

Step 13

Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the apples. Trim, seal, and crimp the edges to your liking.

Step 14

In a small bowl, beat together the egg and milk to make an egg wash.

Step 15

Brush the top crust with the egg wash and cut several slits to allow steam to escape.

Step 16

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 17

Reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 18

Cool the pie on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
