Apple Pie Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the Pie Crust

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water a tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let it sit while you roll out the dough.

3. 3

   Assemble the Pie

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one disk of the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Transfer it to the dish and fill with the apple mixture. Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.

4. 4

   Bake the Pie

   Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

5. 5

   Cool and Serve

   Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
