Steps

1 Done	Pie Crust: In a bowl mix the flour, salt, sugar and cold butter. Gradually start adding water until you get a nice and firm dough.
2 Done	Place the dough on the kitchen counter and knead it by hand. Divide the dough in 2 equal parts and form nice balls.
3 Done	Cover both balls with food foil and place them in the fridge for at least 30 min. If you are in a hurry you can put them in the freezer for 15 min.
4 Done	Apple Filling: Put the apples in a bowl, add the lemon juice, spices and mix them until the spices distribute evenly.
5 Done	In a large pot melt the butter.
6 Done	Dissolve the corn starch in a little water.
7 Done	Add the apples and the corn starch to the butter.
8 Done	Stew the apples for a short while (10-15 min) until they soften, but are not completely soft. The juices should become more dense, like a cream.
9 Done	Remove from heat and let them cool.
10 Done	Preparation: Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
11 Done	Pie Crust: Take one dough out of the fridge. Roll it out on the kitchen counter. Using a rolling pin make a nice round crust, in size a little bigger than your pie baking pan.
12 Done	Repeat with the second dough.
13 Done	Transfer one of the pie crusts on the pie baking pan. If there are hanging edges you can trim them with a knife or scissors.
14 Done	Place the pan in the fridge for a few minutes.
15 Done	Take out the dough. Brush the egg-milk mixture on the dough. This will prevent the pie to become soggy.
16 Done	Put the apple filling over the pie crust. Make it a little higher in the middle than on the edges.
17 Done	Place the second dough on top of the apple filling. There is no need to cool the cake at this stage.
18 Done	Brush the second pie crust with the rest of the egg-milk mixture.
19 Done	Baking: Bake the pie in preheated oven for approximately 1 h.
20 Done	Serving: Serve the pie a little cooled. My suggestion is with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some sauce like (salted) caramel.
21 Done	Decoration: The cake can be decorated in different ways. One option is given in the image above.
