Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Cold water
- 6 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- 0.75 cup Walnuts, chopped
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 medium Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Cut in the cold unsalted butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with your hands until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cocoa powder. Toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated.
Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface until it is large enough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the bottom and sides.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the bottom crust. Layer the apple mixture on top, and then sprinkle the chopped chocolate over the apples.
Drizzle the heavy cream evenly over the filling.
Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling. 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 crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
