Peel and cut the apples into 1-2 inch strips +2. Put the apples in a bowl and mix in the lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch and let it sit for 15 mins to release water +3. Transfer the filling mixture to a sauce pan and reduce the liquid over medium to low heat for around 15 mins, stirring regularly, then turn off the gas +4. While the filling is sitting / reducing, start the crust by putting the flour, salt, sugar, and pieces of butter in a food processor +5. Run the food processor until it resembles a coarse sand (5-10 seconds) then start dripping in the ice water until the mixture starts to chunk together +6. You'll know when it's done if you can pinch the dough with your hand and it sticks together +7. Preheat oven to 350°F then start making the pie crust +8. Cut the dough in half and roll both halves out with a rolling pin until they are big enough to cover your pie pan (around 9 inch diameter) +9. Put the bottom half dough into the pie pan and cut off the excess dough with a knife +10. Dump the sauce pan full of the filling into the pie pan and even it out +11. Cover the pie filling with the top dough and fold over and tuck in the excess crust +12. Use a fork or your fingers to pinch down the top crust to the bottom crust so you don't have air gaps +13. Optionally you can now brush on the egg wash to make the crust get a shiny golden brown color when it cooks +14. Cut a few slits in the top crust with a knife to give it a nice design and allow for air to release +15. Bake 45 minutes at 350°F or until the crust is brown to your liking and the apples are bubbling inside |
