Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted cold butter
  • 6–8 tbsp cold water
  • 2.5 lbs sweet baking apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. To make the crust, blend flour, salt, sugar, and cold butter in a food processor until pea-sized flakes form. Gradually add cold water until dough clumps together.
  2. Form the dough into discs, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  3. For the filling, combine sliced apples, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and optional spices in a bowl; let sit for 15 minutes.
  4. Roll out one dough disc into a circle and place it in a greased pie dish. Fill with apple mixture.
  5. Roll out the second disc and place it over the filling; cut slits for steam to escape.
  6. Brush with egg wash and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 45 minutes until golden brown.
