Instructions
1. Preparing the Crust
- Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
- Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold butter into the flour until it forms pea-sized crumbs.
- Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, and wrap them in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 1 hour.
2. Preparing the Filling
- Mix the apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
3. Assembling the Pie
- Roll out one portion of the chilled dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 10×15-inch sheet pan. Press the dough into the corners and trim the edges.
- Spread the apple filling evenly over the crust.
- Roll out the second dough portion and lay it over the filling. Seal the edges by pinching the dough together and trimming the excess.
- Cut small slits in the top crust to let steam escape during baking.
4. Baking
- Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).
- Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool completely before adding the icing.
5. Adding the Icing
- Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing over the cooled pie for a sweet finish.
