Directions

1. Preheat oven to 42
2. Lightly spoon 2 1/2 cups flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
3. Combine 2 1/2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; cut in 1/2 cup butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Sprinkle surface with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time; toss with a fork until moist and crumbly (do not form a ball).
5. Divide dough in half. Gently press each half into a 4-inch circle on 2 sheets of overlapping heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover with 2 additional sheets of overlapping plastic wrap. Chill 30 minutes.
6. Roll 1 dough half, still covered, into a 12-inch circle.
7. Roll remaining dough half, still covered, into an 11-inch circle. Chill 30 minutes.
8. Combine apple and juice in a bowl.

10. Sprinkle sugar mixture over apple mixture; toss well to coat.
11. Remove top 2 sheets of plastic wrap from 12-inch dough circle; fit dough, plastic wrap side up, into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate coated with cooking spray, allowing dough to extend over edge.
12. Remove remaining plastic wrap. Spoon filling into dough, and dot with remaining 1 tablespoon butter; brush edges of dough lightly with water.
13. Remove top 2 sheets of plastic wrap from 11-inch dough circle; place, plastic wrap side up, over filling.
