Preheat the oven to 425°F (about 220°C).
Peel 3 pounds (about 1.36 kg) of apples, core them, and slice into thin pieces about 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3–6 mm) thick.
Choose firmer apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to keep their shape during baking.
To keep the apples fresh and prevent browning, toss them with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with 1 cup (200 g) sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Optionally, add more spices like allspice, cumin, cardamom, or cloves to taste.
Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Roll out one pie crust to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness on a floured surface.
Transfer the crust to a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish, pressing it into the edges and allowing it to hang slightly over the rim.
Spread the apple filling evenly over the crust, gently pressing down the apples so the layers are compact and there are no large gaps.
Dot the filling with 2 tablespoons of chopped butter in small pieces.
