### Classic Apple Pie

1. **Ingredients:**

   - **For the crust:**

     - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

     - 1 tsp salt

     - 1 tsp sugar

     - 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

     - 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

   - **For the filling:**

     - 6-7 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)

     - 3/4 cup sugar

     - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

     - 1 tsp ground cinnamon

     - 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

     - 1/4 tsp salt

     - 1 tbsp lemon juice

     - 1 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

2. **Instructions:**

   1. **Make the crust:**

      - In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add the chilled butter pieces and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

      - Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

   2. **Prepare the filling:**

      - In a large bowl, toss together the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Let sit while you roll out the dough.

   3. **Assemble the pie:**

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

      - On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges, leaving about 1 inch overhang.

      - Fill the crust with the apple mixture, mounding slightly in the center. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.

      - Roll out the second disk of dough into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling. Trim, fold, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

      - Optionally, you can brush the top crust with an egg wash (1 beaten egg with 1 tablespoon water) for a glossy finish.

   4. **Bake the pie:**

      - Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

      - If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.

      - Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
