Classic Apple Pie — Print Recipe

A golden double-crust pie filled with cinnamon-spiced apple slices, baked until the fruit is tender and the flaky butter crust shatters at the fork.

Ingredients

1 Make dough: pulse flour, salt, and butter in a processor until pea-sized. Add ice water 1 tbsp at a time until dough just holds together. Divide in two, wrap, chill 1 hour.
2 Toss sliced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
3 Roll one dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with apple mixture, mounding in the center.
4 Roll second disc for the top crust. Place over filling, trim and crimp edges. Cut steam vents.
5 Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with coarse sugar.
6 Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 20 min, then reduce to 190°C (375°F) for 35-40 min until golden and bubbling.
