Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 320 grams All-purpose flour
- 180 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 25 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 700 grams Apples (Granny Smith or Braeburn, peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 160 grams Orange marmalade
- 100 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 whole Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough begins to come together (you may not need all the water).
Divide the dough into two discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, orange marmalade, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Mix well to evenly coat the apple slices.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a circle approximately 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter. Gently transfer it to a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish, trimming any excess overhang.
Fill the prepared pie crust with the apple marmalade mixture, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the second disc of dough into a similar-sized circle. Place it over the filling, trimming any excess and crimping the edges together to seal.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 60 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.
