Description
A classic cinnamon apple pie with a flaky crust and sweet, spiced apple filling.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6-8 tablespoons ice water
- 6-7 medium apples, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together. Divide into two discs, wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Toss apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cornstarch.
- Roll out one dough disc and fit it into a pie dish. Add the apple filling.
- Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the filling. Seal and crimp the edges. Cut slits on top.
- Brush with egg wash. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor.
- Chill the dough to prevent shrinking during baking.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
