Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoon sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon table salt
- 3 sticks unsalted butter cubed and kept very cold
- ¾ cup very cold water
- 3 ½ to 4 pounds apples peeled cored and chopped into approximately ½-inch chunks
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- ⅔ to ¾ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 rounded teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ⅛ teaspoon table salt
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream or 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Divide dough in half, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one half of the dough and fit it into a large baking sheet.
- In another bowl, toss the chopped apples with lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt to coat evenly.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the prepared crust. Roll out the second half of the dough and place over the apples, sealing the edges.
- Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape and brush with heavy cream or egg wash.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are bubbly. Let cool before slicing.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of ginger or cloves to the apple filling. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat!
