Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place an oven rack in the lower section of the oven with a baking stone on it.
In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice; set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine ¾ cup sugar, potato starch, cinnamon, and nutmeg; set aside.
Divide pastry dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 dough half to fit a 10-inch pie plate. Place the bottom crust in the pie plate. Add ½ apples into the crust, dot with ½ butter pieces, and sprinkle with ½ potato starch mixture. Pile the remaining ½ apples on top, dot with remaining ½ butter pieces, and sprinkle with the remaining ½ potato starch mixture. Roll out the remaining 1 dough half and carefully place over the apples. Pinch and crimp edges to seal crusts. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the top crust. Brush the top crust with milk; sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Place on the baking stone in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for about 1 hour until the crust is golden brown. Check halfway through and cover the edges with aluminum foil if needed to prevent over-browning during the last 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 3 hours before serving.
