Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
For the filling:
- 6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6-7 medium apples)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten, for egg wash
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
To make the crust, combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
-
To make the filling, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
-
Roll out one of the pie crust disks on a floured surface until it's about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer the crust to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and brush the bottom of the crust with a bit of the beaten egg.
-
Pour the apple filling into the prepared crust, dot with butter, and set aside.
-
Roll out the second pie crust disk on a floured surface until it's about 12 inches in diameter. Cut the crust into strips or shapes of your choice and arrange them on top of the apple filling in a lattice pattern.
-
Brush the top of the pie crust with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
-
Bake the pie for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
-
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
And that's it! You've just created a classic Apple Pie that is sure to impress your friends and family. Enjoy!
