Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled and grated)
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and grate the apples into a large bowl. Squeeze out any excess liquid using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
To the grated apples, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix everything thoroughly and set aside.
Roll out one disc of the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan and press it gently into the pan.
Pour the grated apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling and trim any excess dough. Crimp or seal the edges as desired, and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
