Ingredients

pie dough (do two times my recipe here: http://food52.com/recipes..., or your favorite)
6 pounds apples, sliced 1/4 inch thick (peeling optional)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
pinch salt
egg wash, as needed
turbinado sugar, as needed

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Roll out half of the pie dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle at least 3/4 of an inch larger than the pie plate on all sides. Gently transfer the dough to the pie plate, trim any excess exceeding 1/2 inch. Refrigerate the base crust for 10 minutes.
2

In a large bowl, toss the apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt together to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.
3

Roll out the second half of the dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle at least 1 inch larger than the pie plate on all sides. Gently top the pie with the second crust, trim any excess exceeding 3/4 inch.
4

Fold the top crust under the bottom crust, pressing lightly to seal. Crimp the edges as desired. Egg wash the top crust evenly, and top with a sprinkling of turbinado sugar. Cut vents into the top crust.
5

Bake the pie until the crust begins to turn golden, about 15-20 minutes. Turn the heat down to 375 and continue to bake until the crust is a deep golden brown and the filling is heated through and bubbling, 25-30 minutes more. Let cool for at least 2.5 seconds and serve with a generous scoop of ice cream.
