Description
A warm and fragrant apple pie featuring a mix of tart and sweet apples enveloped in a flaky crust, perfect for any dessert table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 350 g (2 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
- 220 g (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 8 g (1 1/2 tsp) fine sea salt
- 60–90 ml (1/4–1/3 cup) ice water
- 900 g (about 5 medium) apples (2/3 tart and 1/3 sweet)
- 130 g (2/3 cup) granulated sugar
- 55 g (1/4 cup) light brown sugar
- 8 g (2 tsp) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- Pinch of ground cloves
- 30 g (3 tbsp) cornstarch
- 15 g (1 tbsp) all-purpose flour
- 30 g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter, dotted over filling
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour and sea salt. Cut in cold unsalted butter until pea-sized pieces remain. Add ice water, stirring until the dough just holds. Form into discs, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Peel, core, and slice apples. Toss apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, flour, spices, and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Roll one dough disc into a circle and transfer to a pie plate. If par-baking, line with parchment and bake at 190°C (375°F) for 12 minutes.
- Fill the bottom crust with the apple mixture and dot with butter. Roll the top crust and place, crimping the edges to seal. Brush with egg wash and cut vents.
- Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 20 minutes, then lower to 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Chill all ingredients for a flaky crust and avoid overworking the dough. To prevent a soggy bottom, preheat a baking sheet.
