- 6 medium Granny Smith apples (peeled and sliced)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Spices: cinnamon and nutmeg

Instructions
- Prepare the pie dough by mixing flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water until combined. Divide dough, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- For the apple filling, combine sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, spices, and lemon juice; toss to coat.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out one disk of dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish and fill with apple mixture.
- Roll out the second dough disk, cover the filling, crimp edges to seal, and cut slits for steam.
- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle sugar on top. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F; reduce temperature to 375°F and bake another 40-50 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
