Classic Apple Pie

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.

3. 3

   In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together.

5. 5

   Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half on a floured surface to fit your pie pan. Place the rolled dough into the pan.

6. 6

   Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture.

7. 7

   Roll out the second half of the dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.

8. 8

   Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

9. 9

   Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

10. 10

    Let the pie cool before serving.
