Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 cup light butter
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 large egg white, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Cut in 0.5 cup of light butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 6 tablespoons of cold water, stirring just until the dough begins to come together. Avoid over-mixing.
Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
In another large bowl, toss the sliced apples with 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 0.25 cup of honey.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc into a 12-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate.
Fill the pie shell with the apple mixture.
Roll out the second dough disc to a similar size and place it over the apples, or cut into strips to create a lattice crust.
Trim and flute the edges of the pie, then brush the top with the beaten egg white.
Using a small knife, make a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Let the pie cool on a wire rack before serving.
