Key Ingredients

For the flakiest crust, it’s essential to use cold butter and ice-cold water. You can also try using a pastry blender or food processor to mix the butter and flour quickly and efficiently.

When selecting apples, choose a mix of sweet and tart varieties, such as Granny Smith and Fuji, for a balanced flavor. Slice the apples thinly to prevent them from becoming too soggy during baking.

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

2-3 apples, peeled and sliced

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground allspice

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tbsp granulated sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cold butter. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually pour in the ice-cold water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each disk of dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges to fit.

Fill the pie crust with the sliced apples, dot with butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Roll the remaining dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch and use to cover the pie. Crimp the edges to seal and cut a few slits in the top for ventilation.

Storage & Reheating

Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before storing it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap the pie in foil and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
