A deliciously indulgent pie featuring a flaky crust and brown sugar apple filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
  • 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
  • 6 cups sliced apples
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball.
  4. Roll out half of the dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate.
  5. In another bowl, toss apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Pour apple mixture into crust; dot with butter.
  6. Roll out remaining dough to cover pie; seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top crust for steam to escape.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft and crust is golden brown.

Notes

  • Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing for easier serving.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
