Add a little cold water to the flour mixture. Stir it until a firm dough starts to form. Wrap the dough and let it rest in the fridge.

Peel and core all of your fresh apples now. Slice them into even pieces for even cooking later. Toss them with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

Roll out half of the dough on a board. Place it carefully into the bottom of the dish. Press it gently against the sides and the bottom.

Fill the pastry case with your prepared apple slices. Pile them up high in the center of the dish. This makes the pie look very full and tasty.

Roll out the second half of the pastry dough. Place it over the apples to create a lid. Pinch the edges together to seal the pie shut.

Brush the top with a beaten egg right now. Cut a small slit in the middle for steam. Sprinkle a little extra sugar over the top crust.

Bake the pie in a hot oven until golden. This usually takes about thirty or forty minutes total. Let it cool slightly before you slice and serve.
