Ingredients
Method
Preparation of the Crust
- Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together.
- Divide the dough in half, make disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preparation of the Filling
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss the sliced apples with both sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
Assembling the Pie
- Roll out one disk of dough and place it in a 9-inch pie pan.
- Fill the crust with the apple mixture and add pieces of butter on top.
- Roll out the second disk and cover the filling. Trim excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape and brush with beaten egg.
Baking
- Bake for 20 minutes at 425°F, then lower the heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 35-45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Allow cooling to let the filling set.
