Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Add in 1 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add 1/2 cup of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine 6 peeled, cored, and sliced apples, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the chilled pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 7

Fill the pie shell with the prepared apple mixture, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the second portion of the dough into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling as a top crust. Trim any excess dough, seal the edges by crimping them, and cut a few slits in the top for ventilation.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush this egg wash over the top crust, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

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