Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and cold butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough starts coming together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 3

Form the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disc, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar or sweetener, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the apples are coated.

Step 5

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle that's slightly larger than your pie dish.

Step 6

Gently transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and press it into the bottom and sides.

Step 7

Pour the apple filling into the pie crust and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips for a lattice top or cover the pie with a full crust.

Step 9

If using a lattice top, weave the strips over the pie filling. If using a full crust, make a few slits on top to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

If desired, lightly brush the crust with a bit of milk or egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake at 375°F/190°C for about 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 12

Let the pie cool for a bit before slicing and serving
