Ingredients
For the crust
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) cold butter, diced
6–8 tablespoons cold water
For the filling
6–7 large apples (preferably Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
¾ cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter, diced
Instructions
Preparing the crust
- In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar.
- Add the diced butter and gently work the mixture with your fingers or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, while gently mixing with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
- Gather the dough into a ball, divide it into two parts (one slightly larger), and wrap each part in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preparing the filling
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to sit for a moment to let the flavors meld.
Assembling and baking
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the larger portion of dough on a lightly floured surface into a round shape larger than your pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish, gently lining the bottom and sides.
- Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, spreading it evenly.
- Roll out the smaller portion of dough into a round shape. You can use leaf-shaped cookie cutters to cut out decorative leaves from the dough.
- Arrange the cut-out dough leaves on top of the apple filling, creating a decorative pattern.
- Press the edges of the two layers of dough together, sealing the pie. Crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork for a decorative finish.
- Brush the top crust with butter.
Baking
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling and tender.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool before serving. You can enjoy it on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
