Instructions:

1. Make the crust:
   • In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
   • Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Slowly add the ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, and mix just until the dough begins to come together.
   • Divide the dough into two disks, wrap them in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Prepare the filling:
   • Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices.
   • In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch (or flour).
   • Let the apples sit for about 15-20 minutes to release some of their juices.
3. Assemble the pie:
   • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • Roll out one disk of dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, pressing it gently into the corners.
   • Pour the apple filling into the crust, and dot with the diced butter.
   • Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the apples. Trim any excess dough, and pinch the edges together to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork or your fingers.
   • Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
4. Bake the pie:
   • Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
   • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips:
