Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 0.5 cup Ice water
- 6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Add the diced butter into the bowl and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix the flour and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough holds together when pressed. Be careful not to add too much water.
Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour until well coated.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Carefully place it into a 9-inch pie plate.
Add the apple mixture into the pie crust, mounding slightly in the center.
Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges together to seal.
Make a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Whisk together the egg yolk and milk in a small bowl, and brush over the crust.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your classic apple pie!
