  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 68 tablespoons ice water
  • 68 tart apples (such as Granny Smith)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  5. Roll out dough on a floured surface. Place one crust in a pie dish, fill with apple mixture, and dot with butter.
  6. Roll out the second crust and cover the pie, sealing edges and cutting slits for steam.
  7. Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and apples are soft.
