Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thin)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for egg wash)
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into discs, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon cloves, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Toss well to coat the apples evenly.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the chilled dough discs into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Roll out the second dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the apples, and trim the excess dough, leaving about 1 inch hanging over the edge.

Step 10

Seal the edges by folding the top crust under the bottom crust and crimping decoratively. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush it evenly over the top crust.

Step 12

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar over the egg-washed crust for a golden, sugary finish.

Step 13

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 14

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