    To start this recipe off, you will preheat the oven 400, and prepare some cold butter, flour, ice water, apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch and brown sugar. Each component of the pie is very simple and easy to pull together, so lets first start with the crust!

Pie Crust

    1: Mesure flour into a food processor, then add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.

    2:Pour in 3 tablespoons of ice cold water, into the processor, so the dough is starting to clump up.

    3:At this stage quickly, knead and press the mixture into a firm dough,. 

    4:Split in 2, wrap in a cloth and refrigerate for an hour.

                        Filling

    1:Chop apples, and pour them into a large bowl.

    2:Add cinnamon, and nutmeg, then toss the ingredients together.

       3:Add the cornstarch and then the brown sugar, incorporate fully.

Ingredients

1 egg

1 1/2 cups of flour

8 tbls of cold butter

3 tbls of cold water

6 sliced apples

2 tsp cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1/2 cup of brown sugar

Putting it Together

    Start Off with rolling out your pie crust, and line the pie dish, take a fork and prick the bottom, then add the apples and set aside. roll out the other pie dough and cut in into long strips.

After doing so you can make a  traditional lattice or what I did, just folded the strips over and under, in a pattern. Lightly brush the top of the pie with a egg wash, and pop in the oven for 40 minutes then turn the heat down to 345 and bake for another 10 minutes.

Notes

I made the pie crust in a food processor, but its also very easy to make it by hand, with a pastry blender!
