Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup ice water
• 6 units apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 unit egg
• 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Directions

Step 1

Start by making the pie crust. In a large bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Cut 1 cup of unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add 0.5 cup of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough begins to hold together. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

Peel, core, and slice 6 apples. Place them in a large bowl and toss with 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 7

Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Fit the dough into the plate and trim the edges.

Step 8

Pour the apple filling into the crust and spread evenly.

Step 9

Roll out the second disc of dough and use it to cover the filling. Seal the edges and cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape.

Step 10

Beat 1 egg and brush over the top crust for shine.

Step 11

Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Serve warm slices of apple pie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
