Pour ice water and oil through the feed tube of the processor and process until just incorporated and crumbly, not a paste.

Turn out the mixture and knead by hand, then wrap it up and chill for about 20 minutes.

Roll out half of the dough for the bottom crust and chill the other half until ready to use.

Use a drill to peel the apples (optional hack).

Core and cut the apples into about quarter-inch thick slices.

Combine the apple slices with light brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, fresh nutmeg, juice from half a lemon, and juice from half an orange.

Add a splash of brandy if desired (optional).

Roll out the remaining dough and place it on top of the pie.

Seal the edges with aquafaba and cut extra dough into little leaves for decoration (optional).

Brush the top crust with aquafaba and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.

Bake in a preheated oven on a pizza stone.
