Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup ice water
• 8 cups of Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Sprinkle ice water over the mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix gently with a fork after each addition, just until the dough holds together.
5. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a flat, round disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
6. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
7. Roll out one of the dough disks on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough into the pie dish and trim the excess dough from the edges.
8. Pour the apple filling into the pie dish and dot with small pieces of butter.
9. Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges, then cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
10. Brush the top crust with beaten egg, then sprinkle with sugar if desired.
11. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
