Pie Crust
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter chilled and cut into small cubes
- ¼ cup ice water
Filling
- 6 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well

- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg beaten for egg wash
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine flour and butter. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In another large bowl, combine apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
- Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish and trim excess.
- Pour the apple mixture into the crust.
- Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the apples. Trim, seal, and crimp the edges. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool before serving.
Notes
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
