Description
A comforting homemade apple pie with a flaky crust and a balanced filling of sweet and tart apples. Perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
- 6 to 8 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Roll out pie crust on a floured surface. Place one crust in a pie pan.
- In another bowl, mix sliced apples with sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Fill the crust with the apple mixture and dot with butter.
- Roll out the second crust, place it on top, and seal the edges. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush with beaten egg.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 30-35 minutes or until apples are soft and crust is golden brown.
Notes
Let the pie rest for at least 30 minutes after baking for clean slices. Serve warm with ice cream for the perfect dessert.
