Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups sliced apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until dough forms. Divide dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out one disc of dough and fit it into a pie pan. In another bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Pour apple mixture into the crust.
- Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape. Brush with beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Notes
- Always use fresh, seasonal apples for the best flavor.
