Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 cups Apples (such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of cold, unsalted butter (cut into small cubes) to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add 6 tablespoons of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine 6 cups of sliced apples, 0.75 cups of brown sugar, 0.25 cups of granulated sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoons of ground nutmeg, 3 tablespoons of flour, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 6

Roll out one of the chilled dough discs on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the rolled dough to the dish, pressing gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.

Step 7

Spoon the apple filling into the prepared crust, mounding slightly in the center.

Step 8

Roll out the second dough disc on a floured surface and place it over the filling. Trim and seal the edges, then crimp decoratively. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.
