For an extra touch of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the apple filling. If you don't have cake flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour. Reduce the amount by 2 tablespoons per cup. To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, blind bake it for 15 minutes before adding the filling. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic treat.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Crust (15 minutes + 1 hour chilling): In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cake flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter and shortening using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually mix in sour cream and lemon juice until the dough just comes together. It's okay if there are some lumps of butter.
02 Step
Recipe View Divide the dough in half, shape into two disks, wrap each in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This is crucial for developing a flaky crust.
03 Step
Recipe View Preheat the Oven (10 minutes): Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
04 Step
Recipe View Roll Out the Crust (15 minutes): On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disk to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared pie dish, gently pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edge.
05 Step
Recipe View Roll out the remaining dough disk for the top crust to a 12-inch circle. Set aside.
06 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Apple Filling (10 minutes): In a large bowl, combine the sliced Granny Smith apples, sugar, flour, and nutmeg. Toss gently to ensure the apples are evenly coated. Drizzle with lemon juice.
07 Step
Recipe View Assemble the Pie (5 minutes): Pour the apple filling into the bottom crust in the pie dish. Brush the outer edge of the bottom crust with beaten egg. Carefully place the top crust over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges together to seal. Brush the entire top crust with beaten egg wash. Cut four steam vents in the top crust using a sharp knife.
08 Step
Recipe View Bake the Pie (45 minutes): Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
09 Step
Recipe View Cool Completely (2-3 hours): Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set and prevents a soggy pie.
