- 6–8 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
- 6 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water gradually until dough holds together. Chill dough, then divide into two discs.

- Bake: Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Cool before slicing into squares and enjoy!
