Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In another large bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, 2 tablespoons flour, and lemon juice. Mix until the apples are well-coated.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough discs into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and press it into the bottom and sides.

Step 7

Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, spreading it evenly. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.

Step 8

Roll out the second dough disc into another 12-inch circle. Place it over the pie filling. Trim the edges, leaving about 1/2 inch overhang, and crimp or flute the edges to seal.

Step 9

Cut several small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. This cooling time ensures the filling sets properly.
