- Prepare the pie crust by mixing flour, sugar, and salt, then grating in the cold butter and chilling the mixture.
- Add water gradually to form a dough, then chill it for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- For the apple filling, peel and dice the apples, then cook them with lemon juice, sugars, salt, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg for about 10 minutes and let cool.
- Roll out the chilled dough and cut it into rectangles, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Fill each rectangle with apple filling, brush edges with egg wash, and cover with another rectangle, crimping the edges.
- Freeze the assembled pies for about 10 minutes, then preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Brush the tops with egg wash and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the icing by whisking together the icing sugar, heavy cream, butter, vanilla, and salt, then pipe it onto the cooled pies.
