#### **Instructions:**
**1. Make the Pie Crust:**
– In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar.
– Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
– Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
– Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
**2. Prepare the Apple Filling:**
– In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
– Add the sliced apples, cinnamon, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir to combine.
– Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are slightly softened and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
**3. Assemble the Pie:**
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
– Roll out one disc of dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough in the dish and trim the edges.
– Pour the cooled apple filling into the crust.
**4. Create the Lattice Top:**
– Roll out the second disc of dough and cut it into even strips (about 1 inch wide).
– Lay half of the strips vertically over the filling, spacing them evenly.
– Fold back every other strip and lay a horizontal strip across the center. Unfold the vertical strips.
– Fold back the alternate vertical strips and add another horizontal strip. Repeat until the lattice is complete.
– Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
**5. Bake the Pie:**
– Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
– If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
**6. Cool and Serve:**
– Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.
– Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
