Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Incorporate cold butter using a pastry cutter until coarse crumbs form.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, ice water, and lemon juice; add to flour mixture and stir until combined.
Divide dough into two pieces, flatten into rectangles, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Toss sliced apples with sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray.
Roll out the larger dough piece to fit the pan and press it in. Add apple filling evenly.
Roll out the remaining dough for the top crust; trim edges and crimp. Cut vents for steam release.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown; cool completely before glazing.
