Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thinly; preferably Granny Smith)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Bourbon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for sprinkling on crust)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add 6 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just 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 the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 0.75 cup of brown sugar, 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of bourbon, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 6

Roll out one disc of chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish and trim the edges, leaving about 1 inch of overhang.

Step 7

Fill the pie shell with the apple mixture, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the apple filling. Trim the excess dough, seal the edges by pressing them together, and crimp decoratively. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over the top.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This ensures the filling sets properly.

Step 12

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