Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 Apples (Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and sliced thin)
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (freshly grated)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide it into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, nutmeg, all-purpose flour (for filling), and lemon juice. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 6

Roll out one disk of chilled pie dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press it into the dish and trim any excess.

Step 7

Pour the spiced apple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to release steam.

Step 9

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
