Method
Pie Crust
- 1
Prepare the Pie Crust
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2
Add Ice Water
Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape it into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Apple Filling

Prepare the Apples
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, flour, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Let the Filling Rest
Allow the apple mixture to sit for about 15 minutes. This will help to draw out some of the juices.

Prepare the Top Crust
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the apple filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Bake the Pie
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are bubbling. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.

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