Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 6 Apples (Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and sliced thin)
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (freshly grated)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide it into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, nutmeg, all-purpose flour (for filling), and lemon juice. Toss until evenly coated.
Roll out one disk of chilled pie dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press it into the dish and trim any excess.
Pour the spiced apple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to release steam.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
