Classic Apple Pie

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. 3

   Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4

   In another large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly.

5. 5

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled dough into the pie dish and trim the edges.

6. 6

   Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

7. 7

   Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the apples. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie.

8. 8

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

9. 9

   Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

10. 10

    Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving.
