Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
• 8 cups thinly sliced peeled and cored apples
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 egg white, beaten
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Using a pastry cutter, cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until dough begins to come together.
2. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a disc. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 375°F.
4. In a separate large bowl, stir together apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the chilled dough discs into a 12-inch circle. Lay the rolled-out dough into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim edges.
6. Pour apple mixture into the prepared pie shell, and dot with 1 tablespoon of butter.
7. Roll out the second chilled dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Cut dough into strips and create a lattice pattern on the top of the pie by weaving the strips over and under one another.
8. Trim excess dough, fold bottom crust overhang over the lattice strips, and crimp edges to seal.
9. Brush surface of pie dough with beaten egg white and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
10. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. If crust begins to brown too quickly, cover with foil.
11. Allow pie to cool completely before serving.
