Ingredients
For the Pie Crust:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup 2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 6 –8 tbsp ice water
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 medium apples Granny Smith + Honeycrisp, peeled and sliced
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp allspice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Assembly:
- 1 egg for egg wash
- 1 tbsp milk
- Granulated sugar for sprinkling
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Make the Pie Crust – In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold butter and cut in with a pastry cutter until pea-sized crumbs form. Slowly add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Prepare the Apple Filling – In a large bowl, mix sliced apples, sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and vanilla. Let sit for 15 minutes to draw out the juices.
- Assemble the Pie – Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one dough disc and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the apple mixture. Roll out the second disc and cut into strips to create a lattice top. Whisk the egg and milk together, brush over the crust, and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake the Pie – Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 30–35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.
- Serve & Enjoy – Top each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a light dusting of cinnamon. Serve warm and enjoy the cozy goodness!
