Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g All-purpose flour
- 225 g Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 6 tbsp Ice water
- 6 medium Golden apples (peeled, cored, sliced)
- 100 g Brown sugar
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Nutmeg
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tbsp Milk
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Dark rum
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 50 g Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the sliced golden apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss well and set aside.
Roll out one disc of chilled dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8-inch thick and large enough to fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish and trim any excess hanging over the edges.
Fill the pie crust with the prepared apple mixture, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the apples. Trim, seal, and crimp the edges as desired. Cut a few slits on top to allow steam to escape.
Whisk the egg and milk together to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow the pie to cool slightly on a wire rack.
To make the rum sauce, combine the heavy cream, dark rum, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Serve slices of the warm apple pie drizzled with the rum sauce. Enjoy!
