Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 6 large Granny Smith apples
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.75 cup Splenda Granulated
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Prepare the pie crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold unsalted butter, cutting it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal balls, flatten each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the apple filling: Peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices with Splenda Granulated, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Roll out one of the chilled dough disks on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pie pan, pressing it gently to fit. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Pour the apple mixture into the crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot the top of the apples with small pieces of the 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the pie. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Old Fashioned Apple Pie with Splenda!
