Description
A traditional double-crust apple pie with a flaky crust and sweet cinnamon-spiced filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled
- 6–8 tbsp ice water
- 6 cups thinly sliced apples
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, diced
Instructions
- Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in chilled butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough holds together. Divide into two balls, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one dough disk and fit into a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a large bowl, toss apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour into pie crust and dot with butter.
- Roll out the second dough disk and place over the filling. Trim and crimp edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden and filling is bubbly. Cool before serving.
Notes
- Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for best results.
- Chill the dough to prevent shrinking during baking.
- Place a baking sheet under the pie to catch drips.
