Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Ice water
• 6 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the cold unsalted butter into cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. Place them in a large bowl.

Step 6

Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch to the apples. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped walnuts.

Step 8

Roll out one of the dough disks on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 9

Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges of the pie dish.

Step 10

Pour the apple and walnut mixture into the pie crust, mounding slightly in the center.

Step 11

Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the filling. Trim, seal, and crimp the edges.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Beat the egg and milk together in a small bowl to create an egg wash. Brush it evenly over the top crust.

Step 14

Sprinkle granulated sugar over the crust for added sweetness and crunch.

Step 15

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 16

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Step 17

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
