  • 10 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar for sprinkling

Equipment

  • sheet pan
  • mixing bowls
  • Rolling Pin
  • pastry cutter
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add ice water gradually until the dough clumps. Divide into two discs, wrap, and chill 30 minutes.
  3. Toss apple slices with lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour until coated.
  4. Roll one disc into a rectangle and fit into a sheet pan. Spread apples evenly and dot with butter.
  5. Roll out the second disc and place over the apples. Seal edges, crimp, and cut slits for steam.
  6. Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake at 375°F for 40–45 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  7. Cool 30 minutes before slicing to help the filling set.
