Method
Pie Crust Preparation
- 1
Make the Pie Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2
Add Ice Water
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough begins to come together. You may not need all the water.
- 3
Chill the Dough
Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Apple Filling Preparation
- 4
Prepare the Apples
While the dough chills, in a large bowl, combine the sliced Granny Smith apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apples are well coated.

Add Filling
Pour the apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Top with Second Crust
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- 8
Bake the Pie
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

Cool the Pie
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
