Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups Flour
- 1/2 tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Butter, Cold & Diced
- 7 tbsp Cold Water
- 1 Egg + 1 tbsp Water for Egg Wash
- 7 cups Apples (Peeled, Cored & Thinly Sliced)
- 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1 cup Sugar
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse.
- Add cold, diced butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Gradually add cold water and pulse until moist clumps form. Divide the dough, form two balls, and flatten them into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Peel, core, and slice apples, placing them in a bowl. Toss with cinnamon.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in water and sugar; bring to a boil then simmer for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and pour over apples.
- Roll out the first crust on a floured surface to a 12" circle and place it in a 9" pie plate. Add the apple mixture evenly.
- Roll the second crust to an 11" round, cut into strips, and weave over the top. Trim edges and pinch to seal.
- Beat egg and water, brushing the mixture over the crust.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F, remove any edge cover, and bake for another 40-45 minutes, monitoring the crust.
Notes
For a sweeter pie, adjust the sugar based on apple variety.
Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
