- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, divide in half, and shape into two disks. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days. Remove from refrigerator 15 minutes before using if dough has been stored overnight.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 disk to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, pressing into bottom and up sides. Fold edges under, and crimp, if desired.
- For filling: In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, apple pie spice, and salt. Add apples and lemon juice to sugar mixture, and toss. Spoon into crust.
- For egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk egg and 1 tablespoon water.
