Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of flour, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 3

Add in the 1 cup of chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add 1 tablespoon of ice water at a time, mixing gently after each addition, until the dough just comes together.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim excess dough from the edges and set aside.

Step 7

In a large bowl, combine the 6 cups of sliced apples, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoons of nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 8

Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.

Step 9

In a medium bowl, combine 0.5 cups of butter, 0.75 cups of flour, 0.75 cups of brown sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of cinnamon. Mix with a fork or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 10

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apples.

Step 11

Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 12

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
