Instructions
For the All-Butter Pie Crust
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually drizzle in the ice water, tossing with a fork until the dough just begins to come together.
- Divide the dough in half, form each into a flat disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
For the Apple Filling & Assembly
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugars, flour, spices, and lemon juice. Toss to coat.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one dough disk and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Fill with the apple mixture and dot with butter.
- Roll out the second dough disk. Create a lattice top or place it whole over the filling, cutting slits for steam. Crimp the edges to seal.
- Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake on a baking sheet at 425°F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 35-45 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Notes
Tip 1: Keep all your crust ingredients as cold as possible for the flakiest results.
Tip 2: Bake the pie on a preheated baking sheet to ensure a crisp bottom crust.
Tip 3: Let the pie cool completely before slicing for clean, beautiful servings.
