Ingredients:

  • 2.5 cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 tsp (6g) salt
  • 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
  • 8 tbsp (120ml) ice-cold water
  • 3 lbs (1.3kg) apples, peeled and sliced
  • 0.75 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp (8g) ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp (12g) coarse turbinado sugar

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 310g all-purpose flour, 6g salt, and 12g granulated sugar.
  2. Add chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or forks to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized lumps remaining.
  3. Add ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until the dough just begins to clump together.
  4. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Toss sliced apples with 15ml lemon juice to prevent browning.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the apples with 150g brown sugar, 50g granulated sugar, 16g cornstarch, 8g ground cinnamon, and 1g ground nutmeg.
  7. Roll out one dough disc and fit it into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
  8. Fill the crust with the seasoned apple mixture and cover with the second rolled-out dough disc.
  9. Seal the edges, cut vents in the top crust, and brush with a beaten egg and water mixture.
  10. Sprinkle the top with 12g turbinado sugar and bake for 50 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
