Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
- 6 to 8 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, to dot
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the diced butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Place the rolled dough in the dish and fill with sliced apples.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and dot with butter.
- Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and make slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- In a small bowl, beat together the egg yolk and milk. Brush the mixture over the crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the crust is golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack before serving.
