Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 2 ½ cups
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Unsalted butter - 1 cup (2 sticks), chilled and diced
• Ice water - ¼ cup
• Apples - 6 cups, peeled, cored, and sliced
• Granulated sugar - ¾ cup
• Brown sugar - ¼ cup
• Ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Ground nutmeg - ¼ teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).

2. 2.

   In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. 3.

   Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until dough forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4.

   In another bowl, toss apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.

5. 5.

   Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer to the pie pan and fill with apple mixture.

6. 6.

   Roll out the second disc and place over filling. Seal and flute edges. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

7. 7.

   Brush the top crust with beaten egg.

8. 8.

   Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 180°C (350°F) and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, or until apples are soft and crust is golden brown.

9. 9.

   Cool on a wire rack before serving.
