Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup chilled butter, cut into small cubes
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- 5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
Add the chilled butter cubes and mix with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the Greek yogurt and ice water, mixing just until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Add the ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and cornstarch to the apples, mixing until the apples are well coated.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle large enough to fit your pie dish.
Gently transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.
Trim the edges, leaving a slight overhang.
Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, arranging the slices evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water to make an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the crust with the egg wash.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
