Equipment
- Large Glass Bowl
- Pastry Blender
- Rolling Pin
- 9-Inch Pie Plate
- Measuring Cups
- Sharp kitchen knife
- Plastic Wrap
- Baking sheet
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- All-purpose Flour 2 1/2 Cups
- Unsalted Butter Cold 1 Cup
- Salt 1 Tsp
- Granulated Sugar 1 Tsp
- Cold Water 1/4 Cup
- Granny Smith Apples 3 Lbs
- Lemon Juice 1 Tbsp
- Granulated Sugar For Filling 3/4 Cup
- Ground Cinnamon 1 Tsp
- Ground Nutmeg 1/4 Tsp
- Large Egg 1
Instructions
- Make the Crust: Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until it looks like crumbs. Add cold water slowly to form a dough ball.
- Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic. Put it in the fridge for one hour. This makes the crust very easy to roll.
- Prep the Apples: Peel, core, and slice your fresh apples. Toss them with lemon juice, sugar, and spices. Make sure every slice is coated well.
- Roll the Pastry: Roll out half of the dough on flour. Place it into your 9-inch pie plate. Let the edges hang over the side.
- Fill the Pie: Pile the apple mixture into the bottom crust. Add small dots of butter on top of apples. This makes the filling very rich.
- Add Top Crust: Roll out the second piece of dough. Place it over the apples and seal the edges. Cut small slits in the top for steam.
- Bake the Pie: Brush the top with a beaten egg. Bake at 400 degrees until the crust is golden. Let it cool before you slice it.
Notes
➔ Use very cold butter for a flaky crust.
➔ Do not overwork the dough with your hands.
➔ Slice apples into even pieces for even cooking.
➔ Chill the shaped pie before putting it in oven.
➔ Place a tray under the pie to catch juice.
➔ Let the pie cool completely to set the filling.
➔ Sprinkle extra sugar on top for a nice crunch.
➔ Use a mix of sweet and tart apple types.
