Ingredients

Units Scale

Pie Crust:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 6–8 tablespoons ice water

Apple Filling:

  • 6 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples (such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces

For Assembly:

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Pie Crust: In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide, shape into disks, wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  2. Apple Filling: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss sliced apples with sugars, flour, spices, and lemon juice. Roll out one dough disk, place in pie dish, fill with apples, dot with butter. Cover with second dough disk, trim, crimp, and vent.
  3. Baking: Whisk together egg and milk, brush over crust. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, then reduce to 375°F and bake 35–40 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps prevent shrinkage and ensures a flaky crust.
  • Use a pie crust shield or foil to protect edges if browning too quickly.
