Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ðF (220ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  3. Cut cold margarine into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Sprinkle 6 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture, tossing gently with a fork until the dough begins to clump together; add the extra tablespoon if needed.
  5. Divide dough in half; press each half into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  6. Roll out one disk of dough and line a 9-inch deep dish pie plate; trim edges.
  7. In a bowl, toss sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
  8. Pour heavy cream into the bottom of the pie crust, then pile the apple mixture on top.
  9. Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling.
  10. Seal edges by crimping with a fork and flute the border.
  11. Cut several large slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  12. Bake at 425ðF (218ðC) for 20 minutes, then reduce heat (177ðC)to 350ðF and bake for another 30-40 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  13. Cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow filling to set.
