Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp granulated sugar

1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

6 tbsp ice water

6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

1/2 cup maple syrup

2 tbsp bourbon

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. Gradually add ice water, mixing just until the dough holds together. Divide into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. In a large bowl, toss the apples with maple syrup, bourbon, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Let sit for 15 minutes.

5. Roll out one disk of dough and fit into a 9-inch pie pan. Fill with the apple mixture.

6. Roll out the second dough disk and place over apples. Trim excess, crimp edges, and cut slits for steam to escape.

7. Brush the pie with beaten egg. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

8. Allow to cool for at least 2 hours before serving.

Storage

Store leftover pie covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheating

Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm the whole pie in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
