Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 6 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thin)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt for the crust.

Step 2

Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Stop when the dough just comes together.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

In another large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch.

Step 7

Add the sliced apples and lemon juice to the sugar mixture, tossing until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc into a 12-inch circle and gently place it into a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 9

Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges and press the dough gently into the pan.

Step 10

Pour the apple filling into the crust, arranging the slices to create an even layer.

Step 11

Roll out the second dough disc into another 12-inch circle and place it over the pie. You can create a lattice top if desired.

Step 12

Trim, fold, and crimp the edges of the pie crust to seal.

Step 13

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Step 14

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 15

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

Step 16

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

Step 17

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