Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 unit Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Gradually add 6 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 6

In another large bowl, combine the apple slices, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Place it into a 9-inch pie dish, letting the excess dough hang over the edges.

Step 8

Transfer the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Roll out the second dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the apples and trim any excess dough. Pinch the edges of the bottom and top crust together, then crimp them to seal.

Step 10

Cut 4 to 5 small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 11

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar.

Step 12

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 13

Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set.
