Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 medium Granny Smith apples
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the pie crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.25 teaspoon of salt. Cut in 1 cup of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add 6 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Peel, core, and slice 6 medium Granny Smith apples into thin slices. Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add 0.75 cup granulated sugar, 0.25 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 0.125 teaspoon ground allspice, 0.25 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to the apples. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 7

Pour the apple filling into the pie crust, creating a slight mound in the center.

Step 8

Roll out the second disc of dough into another 12-inch circle. Place it over the apple filling. Trim any excess dough, pinch the edges together, and crimp to seal. Cut a few 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 milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 55-60 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 to allow the filling to set.

Step 12

Slice and serve plain, with whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
