How to Make Old Fashioned Apple Pie

Whisk together flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl.
Cut in the chilled butter and shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together.
Divide the dough in half, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg.
Add the sliced apples and toss gently to coat evenly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Brush the top crust with the egg wash.
Wrap the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Bake for 25 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
Remove the foil and reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Continue baking for another 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
