Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 2 \u00bd cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tablespoon sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 6\u20138 tablespoons ice water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    For the Filling:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 6 cups thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u00be cup granulated sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u00bc cup brown sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u00bc teaspoon nutmeg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 tablespoon butter (to dot before baking)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      To Finish:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        1. Make the Dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until dough holds together. Divide in half, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        2. Prepare the Filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Toss sliced apples with both sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Set aside to let the juices develop while you roll the crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        3. Assemble the Pie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Roll out one crust and place in a 9-inch pie pan. Fill with the apple mixture. Dot with butter. Roll out the second crust and lay on top or cut into strips for a lattice. Seal edges and crimp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        4. Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 50\u201360 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        5. Cool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Serve slightly warm with a drizzle of caramel<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Perfect for cozy nights or festive holidays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
