Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined. Cut in cold unsalted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs, about 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together large egg, ice water, and lemon juice. Pour this mixture into the flour and butter blend, stirring gently until just combined into a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into two pieces, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Peel, core, and slice chosen apples. Toss the sliced apples with cornstarch, sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lightly greasing it.
- Roll out the larger dough piece into a rectangle that fits in the bottom of your baking pan. Aim for about 1/8-inch thickness and transfer into the pan.
- Spoon the apple filling over the rolled-out dough evenly, spreading it to ensure every slice is packed with flavor.
- Roll out the second piece of dough and place it over the filling, crimping the edges to seal. Cut small vents in the top crust.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before preparing the glaze.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, and milk until smooth. Spread the glaze over the cooled apple slices.

Notes
Keep ingredients cold for a flaky crust. Mix apple varieties for balanced flavor. Cool completely before adding glaze.
