Deep Dish Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Crust:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup ice water (more if needed)
• For the Filling:
  • 6-8 medium apples (a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter (cut into small pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream (for brushing on top)

Instructions:

1. Make the Pie Crust:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
• Add the cold butter cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
• Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough begins to come together. You may need a little more water, but be careful not to add too much.
• Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape each into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.

2. Prepare the Apple Filling:

• Peel, core, and slice the apples. Toss them in a large bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning.
• Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until the apples are evenly coated.

3. Assemble the Pie:
