Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 to 8 tbsp ice water
  • 6 cups sliced apples (about 6 medium)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp apple cider or water
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water, for egg wash

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour and salt, work in cold butter until pea-sized, add ice water slowly, then shape into two discs and chill at least 1 hour.
  2. Toss apple slices with cornstarch, lemon juice, cider, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until coated.
  3. Roll one dough disc to a 12-inch circle, line a 9-inch pie dish, and keep cold.
  4. Fill with apples, top with second dough round, trim and crimp edges, cut steam vents, and brush with egg wash if using.
  5. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 375°F, and bake 40 to 50 minutes more until golden and bubbly, then cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Chilling the dough is hands-off time and not counted in prep, so plan ahead. If your apples taste especially tart, a drizzle of honey stirred into the filling is a simple fix that still keeps refined sugar out.
