Start by making the pie crust. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together.
Split the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out one chilled dough disc into a 12-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, maple syrup, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apples are well-coated.
Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and maple syrup for the cream layer. Drizzle the mixture evenly over the apple filling.
Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the pie. Seal and flute the edges as desired. Cut small slits or a decorative design in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.
Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
