Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (chilled)
  • 6-8 tbsp ice water
  • 6-7 medium apples (Granny Smith + Honeycrisp mix)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg (for wash)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl for preparing dough and filling
  • Rolling Pin for flattening dough
  • Pie dish for baking
  • Pastry brush for applying egg wash

Method
 

  1. Blend flour, salt, and butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Add ice water gradually until dough holds together. Chill 1 hour.
  2. Peel, core, and slice apples. Toss with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Let rest 10 minutes.
  3. Roll half the dough into a circle and fit into a pie dish. Trim edges.
  4. Par-bake bottom crust at 375°F for 10 minutes.
  5. Pour apples into crust, dot with butter if desired. Top with remaining dough and cut slits for steam.
  6. Brush crust with egg wash. Bake at 375°F for 50–60 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  7. Let pie rest 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

This recipe blends tart and sweet apples for the best flavor, uses par-baking to prevent soggy crusts, and includes make-ahead and freezer tips for busy bakers.
