# What You Need:
→ Pie Crust
01 - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
05 - 6-8 tablespoons ice water
→ Apple Filling
06 - 6-7 medium apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick
07 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
08 - 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
09 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
10 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
11 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
12 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
13 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
14 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
→ Assembly
15 - 1 egg, beaten
16 - 1 tablespoon milk
17 - 1 tablespoon coarse sugar
# Directions:
01 - Whisk together flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add cold cubed butter and cut in using a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring just until dough comes together. Divide dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
02 - Peel, core, and slice apples 1/4-inch thick. In a large bowl, toss apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, flour, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Set aside.
03 - Preheat oven to 400°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disk to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently fit crust into pie dish. Fill with apple mixture, mounding slightly in center. Dot with butter pieces. Roll out second dough disk and place over filling. Trim excess dough, seal and crimp edges. Cut several slits in top crust for steam escape.
04 - Whisk egg and milk together. Brush mixture over top crust and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake pie on lower rack for 45-55 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
05 - Transfer pie to a wire rack and cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
