Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter
1/4 cup ice water
6-8 medium-sized apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg powder
1 egg, beaten for egg wash

Preparation

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375F and prepare a 9-inch pie dish
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt, then add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs
Step 3: Gradually add the ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball
Step 4: Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, and wrap each in plastic wrap, refrigerating for at least 30 minutes
Step 5: In a separate large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, grated ginger, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder, tossing until the apples are evenly coated
Step 6: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the chilled dough disks to a thickness of about 1/8 inch
Step 7: Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared pie dish, trimming any excess dough from the edges
Step 8: Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture and dot the top with any remaining butter
Step 9: Roll out the second dough disk to a similar size as the first, using it to cover the pie and crimp the edges to seal
Step 10: Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking
Step 11: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden glaze
Step 12: Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender
