In a bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar and butter. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to combine the mixture until it resembles damp sand.
Add in 2-3 tsp (a tsp at a time) of cold water until the dough comes together, you don't want it wet. Use your hands to bring the dough together.
If the dough is too soft or sticky to roll out, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
To roll it out, place the dough, flattened into a disc between two sheets of lightly floured parchment paper. Roll out with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thick.
Remove top piece of parchment paper and place the crust on the other piece of parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
Add sliced apples to the center of dough, leaving a 1-2 inch border of crust showing.
In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, sugar and mix.
Sprinkle over top of apples.
Dot apples with 1/2 T bsp butter
Fold the crust up and around the apple filling, leaving the middle exposed. Make tucks in the dough as you fold it around the apples.
For a golden brown, shiny pie crust, beat an egg and brush the dough with the egg. Sprinkle with a bit of coarse sugar if desired.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

If you like, you can substitute a favorite berry such as blueberries, raspberries or blackberries for the apples. Also, a combination of berries and apples is also delicious!

For a little extra crunch, add a tablespoon or two of chopped walnuts or pecans in with the apple mixture before baking.
