Prep time: 40 minutesCook time: 1 hourServes: 8
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
6 to 8 tbsp ice water
6 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (such as Granny Smith)
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp butter, diced
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp milk
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into disks. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place crust in pie pan.
4. In a large bowl, toss apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and lemon juice. Pour into prepared crust and dot with butter.
5. Roll out remaining dough and cover filling. Trim, seal, and flute edges. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
6. Mix egg yolk and milk, and brush mixture over crust.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C), and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Let cool before serving.
