Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends to come together and celebrate. A delicious apple pie is the perfect way to end a holiday meal. This easy recipe is sure to please everyone.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 6 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions

1. To make the crust, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and use your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and mix until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. To make the filling, combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust. Dot the filling with the butter.
5. Roll out the remaining dough to a 10-inch circle. Place the dough over the filling and trim the edges. Fold the edges of the top crust under the bottom crust and crimp to seal. Brush the top of the pie with the egg yolk and sprinkle with the cream.
6. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
