Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 0.5 cup Ice water
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 7 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the pie crust. In a large bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour with the chilled, diced unsalted butter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Gradually add 0.5 cup of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together.

Step 4

Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine 0.75 cup of granulated sugar, 0.25 cup of brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of flour for the filling.

Step 7

Add the sliced apples and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the sugar mixture; toss to coat.

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Transfer to the pie plate and trim the overhang to 1/2-inch.

Step 9

Pour the apple filling into the crust, mounding slightly in the center.

Step 10

Roll out the second dough disc and place over the filling. Trim, seal, and flute the edges.

Step 11

Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.

Step 12

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush over the crust.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 14

Reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.

Step 15

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