Instructions:

1. Make the Pie Crust:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Slowly add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Stir gently to coat the apples evenly. Set the mixture aside.
3. Assemble the Pie:
   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • Roll out one disc of pie dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled-out dough into the pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges.
   • Pour the prepared apple filling into the crust, and dot the top with butter.
   • Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the apple filling. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
   • Brush the top crust with egg wash (beaten egg) and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
4. Bake the Pie:
   • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
5. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat.
