Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 medium Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for filling)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of cold, diced butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add 6 tablespoons of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overwork.

Step 4

Divide the dough in half, wrap each portion in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the sliced Granny Smith apples, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoons of ground nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out one portion of chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently to fit.

Step 8

Fill the crust with the prepared apple filling, arranging the apples as evenly as possible.

Step 9

Dot the filling with 2 tablespoons of butter.

Step 10

Roll out the second portion of dough and place it over the apples. Trim the overhang and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush this egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 12

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.

Step 13

Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the filling set properly.

Step 14

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
