- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar; add cold, cubed unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2
Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough just comes together in rough clumps; you should be able to press it into a ball.
- 3
Divide the dough into two equal portions, wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 4
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a 12-inch circle and fit into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess around the edges.
- 6
In a separate large bowl, combine the apple slices with lemon juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar for filling, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract; toss to coat evenly.
- 7
Pile the apple filling into the crust and dot with small cubes of cold butter.
- 8
Roll out the second dough disc and lay it over the filling; trim and crimp edges to seal; cut a few vents in the top crust to let steam escape.
- 9
Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for 35–45 more minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- 10
Remove from oven and let the pie cool for at least 2 hours; serve warm slices with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
