Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Cut in the cold, cubed butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough begins to come together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten each into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 4

In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Set aside to let the mixture release its juices.

Step 5

On a floured surface, roll out one of the chilled dough discs into a 12-inch round. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, allowing the excess dough to hang over the edges.

Step 6

Fill the pie crust with the prepared apple filling, arranging the slices to minimize large gaps. Dot the filling with the cubed butter for added richness.

Step 7

Roll out the second dough disc into a 12-inch round. Place it over the apple filling. Trim any excess dough, leaving about a 1-inch overhang. Tuck the edges under and crimp to seal.

Step 8

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Optionally, use a decorative cutter to create shapes from excess dough and apply them to the top.

Step 9

Whisk together the egg and milk to make the egg wash. Brush it over the top crust and edges. Sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden, sparkling finish, if desired.

Step 10

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 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 slicing and serving.
