In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix just until the dough comes together. Form it into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In another bowl, mix the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch, tossing to coat evenly.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough up over the apples, pleating as necessary to create a rustic foldover pie.
Brush the edges of the crust with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar for extra sweetness and texture, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the pie to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
