Description
A classic homemade apple pie with an all butter crust and green apple filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups flour
- 16 tbs butter
- Salt
- 1/4 c water
- Flour for work surface
- 9 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and thin sliced
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Place butter, flour and salt into a food processor and pulse until butter is mixed with the flour into a small gravely consistency, then add in water gradually until completely mixed in and dough is soft, not tacky.
- Roll dough into a ball and then flatten into a thick disk. Cover in plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill at least 1 hour, up to over night.
- After your dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 375F.
- Place apples, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in a large sauté pan and cook until apples are soft, adding cornstarch at the end to thicken the sauce that forms. Let the sauce cool 10 minutes before the next step.
- Roll the dough out onto a floured surface into a large round sheet, large enough to cover your 9’’ pie plate past the rim. Roll out the second dough into a large round and cut into strips for a lattice top.
- Place the rolled dough over the pie plate, pressing it down into the plate and rolling over the edges.
- Pour apple filling into the crust then create a lattice pattern on top with the strips of dough, pinching along the edges to seal.
- Brush the lattice top with a beaten egg and bake at 375F for 15 minutes, rotate and bake another 15, continuing to rotate and bake at 3 minute intervals until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow to cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
