Filling and Crust

Method

Preparation and Baking

  1. 1

    Make the Pie Crust

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In another bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are well coated.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pie

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place it into a 9-inch pie pan. Fill with the apple mixture. Roll out the second disc of dough and cover the filling. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.

  4. 4

    Bake the Pie

    Brush the top crust with the beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the crust is golden brown.

  5. 5

    Cool and Serve

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