Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C).
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt for the crust.
Cut the solid coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together without being sticky.
Divide the dough into two equal parts, form them into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples, then toss them in a large bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch.
Add the sugar mixture to the apples and gently toss to coat all slices.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disk to a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan, pressing lightly into the bottom and fluting the edges.
Fill the crust with the apple mixture, piling it high and evenly.
Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the apple filling. You can create a lattice pattern or cut slits for steam to escape.
Seal and crimp the edges of the pie, then trim any excess dough.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and continue baking for another 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
