Instructions
Prepare the Crust
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients
Combine flour and salt in a large bowl.
Ensure the mixture is well stirred. -
Cut in the Butter
Add chilled, cubed butter to the flour and cut it with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Look for pea-sized butter pieces. -
Add Ice Water
Gradually mix in ice water, stirring with a fork until dough begins to form.
Add water slowly to avoid over-saturation. -
Form and Chill the Dough
Shape the dough into two disks, wrap each in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Dough should feel firm but pliable after chilling.
Prepare the Apple Filling
-
Mix the Filling Ingredients
Combine apple slices, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure apples are well coated.
Assemble and Bake the Pie
-
Roll Out the Crust
Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface and fit into a 9-inch pie plate.
Check for even thickness. -
Fill the Pie
Pour the apple filling into the crust-lined pie plate.
Layer apples for even distribution. -
Add the Top Crust
Roll out the second disk and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges.
Seal edges to prevent leaks. -
Cut Slits and Bake
Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape. Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown.
Look for bubbling juices. -
Cool and Serve
Let the pie cool on a wire rack before serving.
Allow time to set before cutting.
