Ingredients
For the filling:
6–7 cups thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp butter (for dotting)
For the crust:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
6–8 tbsp ice water
Instructions
Make the crust: Mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough holds. Divide in two, wrap, and chill 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Mix apple slices with sugars, spices, flour, and lemon juice.
Roll out one dough half and line a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with apple mixture and dot with butter.
Roll out remaining dough for top crust. Place over filling, crimp edges, and cut slits for steam.
Optional: brush top with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake 45–50 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Cover edges if browning too fast.
Cool before slicing for clean cuts.
