Apple Pie


Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 6-8 tablespoons ice water

For the filling:

  • 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for dotting on top)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the crust:

    • In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
    • Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough starts to come together. Divide the dough in half, form each half into a disk, and wrap them in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

  2. Make the filling:

    • In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Stir gently to coat the apples evenly.

  3. Assemble the pie:

    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
    • Roll out one dough disk on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie dish. Place it into the pie dish and trim any excess dough around the edges.
    • Add the apple filling to the crust, and then dot the top with small pieces of butter.
    • Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the apples. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

  4. Bake the pie:

    • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
    • If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

  5. Cool and serve:

    • Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to let the filling set.
    • Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
