Old-fashioned Lattice-Top Apple Pie ( Tarta de manzanas)

Honestly, this is one of the best apple pie I've done.
The mass balance (not too thick) and filling was perfect.
I advise to do it anyway!

And the recipe comes from one of my favorite sites :

Bon appetit

3/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted

Add 6 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more water by teaspoons if dough is dry. Gather into a ball. Divide into 2 pieces. Flatten each into disk. Wrap each in plastic and chill by 2 hours.
