  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 54 minute

Ingredients

– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
– 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
– 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
– 6 to 8 medium-sized apples (a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp is ideal)
– ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for filling)
– 1 tablespoon butter (for dotting)
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)


Instructions

Follow these steps to create your Classic Apple Pie:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a large bowl, mix 2 ½ cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Add the diced butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add Water: Stir in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together. Divide it into two balls, flatten them into discs, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
4. Prepare Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with ¾ cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons flour.
5. Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out one disc of chilled dough to fit your pie dish. Place it in the dish and trim the edges.
6. Add Filling: Spoon the apple mixture into the crust. Dot with butter.
7. Top Crust: Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Cut slits in the top for steam to escape. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
8. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the mixture over the crust for a golden finish.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
