For the crust:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add the butter, and use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball.
  4. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

For the filling:

  4. Add the sugar mixture to the apples, and toss until well coated.

To assemble the pie:

  1. Remove one of the dough disks from the refrigerator, and roll it out on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) deep dish pie plate.
  2. Transfer the dough to the pie plate, trimming the excess dough from the edges.
  3. Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, and dot with the cubed butter.
  4. Roll out the second dough disk, and use it to cover the top of the pie.
  5. Crimp the edges of the crust to seal, and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  6. Bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven, and let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
