   Turn out, divide in two, flatten into disks, wrap, and chill at least 1 hour.

   Prepare the apple filling.

   Toss apples with remaining sugar and salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Let sit 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Assemble the pie.

   Roll one disk into a 12-inch circle and lay in a 9-inch pie plate. Pile in apples with their juices. Roll the second disk and lay over the top. Trim, crimp, and cut steam vents.

5. 5

   Bake the pie.

   Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with turbinado, and bake at 425°F for 25 minutes. Drop to 375°F and bake until deeply golden and bubbling, about 35 more minutes. Cool fully before slicing.
