Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 Egg
- 4 tablespoons Ice water
- 6 large Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch sheet cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt for the crust.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Beat the egg and mix it into the flour mixture. Slowly add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together.
Divide the dough into two portions, one slightly larger than the other. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the filling by tossing the sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
On a floured surface, roll out the larger portion of dough into a rectangle slightly larger than the pan. Carefully transfer it to the pan and press it into the corners, trimming any excess.
Pour the prepared apple filling into the crust and spread it evenly.
Roll out the second portion of dough into a rectangle and place it over the apples. Seal the edges by pinching the top and bottom crusts together.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the sheet cake apple pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
