Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust by mixing flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly, then add ice water gradually until combined. Chill for 30 minutes.
- For the filling, mix sliced apples with sugars, flour, spices, and lemon juice in another bowl.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one dough disk into a circle and place in a pie dish. Add apple filling.
