Add 8 oz of cold butter to the flour mixture and pulse until crumbly.

Slowly add 7 tablespoons of ice water and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the mixture and pulse until combined.

Form the dough into two balls, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

Peel, core, and slice 10 medium-sized apples.

In a bowl, mix the apples with the juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 3/4 cup of sugar.

Add 3 tablespoons of corn starch to the apple mixture and combine well.

Roll out one dough ball to cover the bottom of the pie dish and press it down.

Fill the crust with the apple mixture and add extra butter on top if desired.

Roll out the second dough ball for the top crust, place it over the filling, and tuck it in.

Vent the top crust with slits and seal the edges with a fork.

Brush the top with a little more butter.

Place the pie on a sheet pan and bake at 375°F for 1 hour.
