Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, mixing just until dough comes together. Divide in half, shape into discs, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
Roll out one dough disc and place in a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with apple mixture.
Roll out the second dough disc and place over apples. Trim and crimp edges. Cut slits in the top for steam to escape.
Whisk egg and milk together and brush over the top crust. Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
Cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

You can make the dough a day ahead and store in the fridge.
Mix apple varieties for depth of flavor.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
