🧾 Ingredients

For the crust:

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (225g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 6–8 tbsp ice water

For the filling:

• 6–7 medium apples (a mix of sweet and tart varieties works best)
• ¾ cup sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp butter (for topping)

For finishing:

• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp milk

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare the Pie Dough

Start by making the crust, since it needs time to chill.

• In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar.
• Add cold butter cubes and cut them into the flour using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
• Divide the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30–60 minutes.

👉 Chilling is key—it ensures a tender, flaky crust.

2. Prepare the Apples

• Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly.
• Place them in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
• Add sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
• Mix well until the apples are evenly coated.

👉 Let the mixture sit for about 10–15 minutes so the flavors blend and juices release.
