Classic American Apple Pie

Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup (60ml) ice water, plus more as needed
- 2.5 kg (about 8 medium) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- 1Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Add cold butter cubes and cut in with pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- 2Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough just comes together. Divide in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- 3Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, both sugars, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Toss thoroughly.
- 4On floured surface, roll one dough disk to 12-inch circle. Transfer to 9-inch pie plate. Trim overhang to 1 inch. Fill with apple mixture, mounding slightly. Dot with 1 tablespoon butter pieces.
- 5Roll second dough disk to 12-inch circle. Place over filling. Trim overhang, fold bottom crust over top, and crimp edges to seal. Cut 4-5 steam vents in center.
- 6Brush top crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Place pie on baking sheet to catch drips.
- 7Bake 20 minutes at 190°C. Reduce heat to 175°C (350°F) and continue baking 35-45 minutes until crust is deep golden and filling bubbles through vents.
- 8Cool on wire rack at least 3 hours before slicing to allow filling to set. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.
