Method
Pie
- 1
Prepare crust
In a large bowl, whisk flour and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough just comes together. Divide dough into two disks, wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.

Prepare filling
In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. In a separate bowl, mix granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples and toss to coat evenly.

Roll out crust
On a lightly floured surface, roll one disk of dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, trim excess, and flute the edges.

Add filling
Pour apple mixture into crust, mounding slightly in the center.

Top and seal
Roll second disk of dough into a circle large enough to cover the pie. Place over filling, trim, and crimp edges to seal. Cut slits in top to vent.

Bake
Bake in a 425°F (220°C) oven for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 30-35 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling bubbles. If the edges brown too quickly, cover with foil or a shield during baking.

Cool and serve
Let pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow filling to set. Serve warm or at room temperature.
