Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 6 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
2. Add the cold cubed butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water to the mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.
4. Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape each into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. In a separate bowl, mix together the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until well coated.
7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough disks into a circle large enough to line a 9-inch pie dish.
8. Transfer the rolled out dough to the pie dish and gently press it against the sides.
9. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, distributing it evenly.
10. Drizzle the melted butter over the apple filling and sprinkle the brown sugar on top.
11. Roll out the second dough disk into a circle and place it over the apple filling.
12. Seal the edges of the pie by crimping them with a fork or pinching them together with your fingers.
13. Cut several slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
14. Brush the beaten egg over the top crust for a golden finish.
15. Wrap the entire pie in parchment paper, making sure it is completely covered.
16. Place the wrapped pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
17. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
18. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
