Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
• 6 to 8 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll one dough disc out to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place it in the pie plate and trim the edges.
4. In a large bowl, toss apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Pour into prepared crust.
5. Roll out the second dough disc and place over the filling. Seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35 to 45 minutes more, until apples are soft and crust is golden brown.
7. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
