Delicious Apple Pie Recipe for Every Occasion

In a large bowl, combine the **all-purpose flour** and **salt**. Add in the **chilled diced butter** and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Next, stir in the **granulated sugar**. Gradually add the **cold water**, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two halves, wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

In another bowl, combine the sliced **apples** with **sugar**, **flour**, **cinnamon**, and **lemon juice**. Toss until the apples are well coated. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to release some juice.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one half of the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Place it in the dish and fill with the apple mixture, spreading it evenly.

Roll out the second half of the dough and place it over the apples. Seal the edges by pinching them together and cut slits in the top crust for ventilation.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the crust is golden brown.

Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, preferably with a scoop of ice cream on the side!
