**Ingredients:**

For the Pie Crust:

- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon sugar

- Ice water (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup)

For the Filling:

- 6-7 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples (a mix of sweet and tart varieties like Granny Smith)

- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1/4 cup brown sugar

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces

**Instructions:**

**For the Pie Crust:**

1. **Prepare Ingredients:**

   - In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold, cubed butter.

2. **Cut in Butter:**

   - Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. **Add Water:**

   - Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into two discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

**For the Filling:**

1. **Preheat Oven:**

   - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. **Prepare Apples:**

   - In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour until well coated.

3. **Roll Out Pie Crust:**

   - Roll out one disc of the chilled pie crust and line a pie dish with it. Trim excess dough from the edges.

4. **Fill Pie Shell:**

   - Place the apple filling into the pie crust, and dot with small pieces of butter.

5. **Top with Second Crust:**

   - Roll out the second disc of pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie.

6. **Ventilate:**

   - Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

7. **Bake:**

   - Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

8. **Cool:**

   - Allow the apple pie to cool for a few hours before slicing.

Enjoy your delicious homemade apple pie, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
