Gather @all-purpose flour{350%g}, @apple{1.2%kg}, @sugar{150%g}, @brown sugar{50%g} and @ground cinnamon{2%tsp}.

Rub the cold @butter{230%g} into the flour and @salt{1%tsp} until pea-sized flakes remain, then bring together with just enough @ice water{120%ml} to form a dough. Divide in two, flatten into disks and chill 30 minutes. ~{30%minutes}

Peel and slice the apples 5 mm thick, then toss with both sugars, cinnamon, @cornstarch{2%tbsp} and @lemon{0.5} juice.

Roll one disk into a 30 cm round and line the pie dish, letting the edges overhang.

Pile in the apples, mounding them toward the center, and dot with a little extra butter.

Roll out the second disk, lay it over the top, trim and crimp the edges, then cut a few vents and brush all over with beaten @egg{1}.

Bake at 200°C for 20 minutes, then at 180°C for 35 minutes more, until deep gold and bubbling at the vents. ~{55%minutes}

Cool at least 2 hours so the juices set — cutting early floods the dish. ~{2%hours}
