| Prep time | 1 1⁄2 hours |
| 10 | apples (large) | |
| 1 | Cup | sugar |
| 4 | Teaspoon | cinnamon |
| 1 | Teaspoon | nutmeg |
| 1 | Tablespoon | lemon juice |
| 3 | Cup | flour |

| 4 | Tablespoon | icy water |
Peel and slice apples. Add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well. Cover and set aside.
For crust: Place flour in a large mixing bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon icy water over part of mixture, toss with fork. Push to the side of bowl. Repeat until moistened. Take half of pastry and shape into ball. Roll out between two pieces of wax paper. Place into an 11-inch pie dish. Sprinkle a small amount of flour into the empty pie shell. Add in apple mixture. Place a few pats of butter on top of the apple mixture. For the top crust, use the remaining dough. Roll out the same as the first crust and place over the top and seal edges. Cut slits for steam to escape. Bake at 350º for 55 minutes or until crust is golden.
