Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
- 1 cup (227g) cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
- ½ cup (120ml) ice water
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) apple cider vinegar
- 6-7 medium apples (about 3 pounds/1.4kg), peeled, cored, and sliced
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- Turbinado sugar
Instructions:
- Combine flour and salt in a bowl or food processor.
- Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water and vinegar, mixing until dough just comes together.
- Divide dough in half, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and lemon juice.
- Toss gently to coat apples evenly.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to a 12-inch circle.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the pie plate.
- Trim and crimp the edges of the crust.
- Pour the apple filling into the prepared crust.
- Dot the top of the filling with butter pieces.
- Roll out the second disc of dough to a 12-inch circle. Cut vents or decorative patterns. Carefully place over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal with the bottom crust.
- Brush the top crust with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
