Instructions

1
Rub the butter into 260 g of the flour with 10 g of the sugar and the salt until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs, then stir in the ice water and press it into a dough.
2
Divide the dough into two discs, wrap them and chill for 30 minutes.
3
Heat the oven to 200C. Peel, core and thinly slice the apples and toss them with the lemon juice, 100 g of the sugar, the remaining flour, the cinnamon and the nutmeg.
4
Roll out one disc, line a 23 cm pie dish with it and fill it with the apples, mounding them in the center.
5
Roll out the second disc, lay it over the filling, trim and crimp the edges and cut a few slits in the top.
6
Brush the top with the milk, sprinkle with the remaining sugar and bake for 20 minutes, then lower the oven to 180C and bake for 35-40 minutes more, until the filling bubbles through the slits.
7
Leave the pie to cool until just warm so the filling sets before slicing.
