Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
  • 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
  • 6 to 8 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Roll out half of the dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place the bottom crust in the pie plate.
  5. In another bowl, toss apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour into the crust and dot with butter.
  6. Roll out the remaining dough and place over the filling. Seal and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft and crust is golden brown.
  8. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a mix of different apple varieties.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
  • Make sure to let the pie cool before slicing to help it set.
