Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 6 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Prepare the pie crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cubed, cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the apple filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
Roll out one disc of the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer it to the dish and trim any overhang to about 1 inch.
Pour the apple filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim the overhang, seal the edges by crimping with your fingers or a fork, and cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Prepare the egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk the beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush this mixture over the top crust to encourage browning.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with foil partway through baking.
Cool the pie on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before glazing.
Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust the milk to reach your desired glazing consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pie before serving. Slice and enjoy!
