Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Large pot
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pie dish
  • Oven

Ingredients

For the crusts: 

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 sticks very cold, unsalted butter cut into small cubes
  • 1-3 tbsp ice-cold water

For the filling:

  • 8 cups cups Granny Smith apples, sliced
  • Juice of one lemon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ stick unsalted butter, diced
  • Egg wash (one egg mixed with 1 tbsp water)

Instructions

  • Make the crust: place the flour, sugar, and salt in your food processor and pulse three times. Add the cubed cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Pour the ice-cold water a teaspoon at a time until the dough almost comes together in a ball.
  • Remove the dough and place it in the counter. Use your hands to bring it together into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours.
  • Place the sliced apples into a large pot and add the lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and butter. Cook until the apples are tender and the juices are thick. Let them cool down completely.
  • Take the dough out of the fridge and divide it in two. Lightly flour your counter or surface and roll both halves into two 12 or 14-inch circles. Transfer one of the rounds to the pan leaving ½-inch hanging from the edge. Spoon in the apples and place the second pie dough round on top of the apples. Seal the edges by fluting the top and bottom doughs or pressing them together with your fingers. Cut three slits on top of the pie to allow steam to escape.
  • Brush the top dough with egg wash and bake for 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
