Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons ice water
- 6 cups apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 unit egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt for the crust.
Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough begins to come together.
Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
On a floured surface, roll out one dough disc into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer it to the dish and press it into place.
Fill the crust with the apple filling, mounding it slightly in the center.
Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the apples. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
