2 1/ cup(s) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon(s) sugar
3/4 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
1 cup(s) cold unsalted butter, cubed
6-8 tablespoon(s) ice water
FOR THE FILLING
5 medium braeburn apples (about 1-1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/4-in. slices
4 medium granny smith apples (about 1-1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/4-in. slices
1/2 cup(s) sugar
3 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
dash(es) ground nutmeg
3 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 - egg, lightly beaten
1-2 tablespoon(s) superfine sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Divide dough in two portions so that one is slightly larger than the other; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle. Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, lemon juice, flour, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger portion of dough to 1/8-in. thick circle. Transfer to a 9-in. pie plate, trimming even with edge. Fill with apple mixture, mounding in the center. Dot apples with butter. Lightly brush rim of pastry with some of the beaten egg.
  • Roll out remaining dough to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in pastry. Brush top with egg; sprinkle with superfine sugar. Place on a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°. Bake 50-60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack 2 hours before serving.
