Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Ice water
• 8 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13x18-inch sheet pan and set aside.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of chilled dough large enough to cover the bottom and sides of the sheet pan. Carefully transfer the rolled dough to the prepared pan and trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 7

Spread the apple filling evenly over the crust.

Step 8

Roll out the second disc of dough to fit over the top of the apple filling. Place it on top, then fold and crimp the edges of the bottom and top crusts together to seal.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Brush the mixture over the top crust and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Step 11

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
