Ingredients
- Crust
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter chilled and cut into small pieces
- ¼ cup cold water
- Cooking spray
- 1 egg yolk plus 1 teaspoon water beaten, for egg wash
- Filling
- 4 large or 6 medium Fuji or Granny Smith apples or any crisp sweet apple you preferred enough to make 6 cups sliced apples
- ½ cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 tablespoons butter
- Vanilla sugar for sprinkling, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add butter. Add the cold water. Mix in with the fingertips, not hands, as the palms will warm the dough. Continue mixing water in until the dough begins to hold together without being sticky but not crumbly. Press down to form a disk. This will make rolling out easier after chilling. Lightly spray a deep 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray. Lightly brush sides and bottom of crust with egg wash. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes before filling.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Filling Preparation
- Peel, quarter, and core apples; cut into ¼-inch slices. In a separate bowl combine sugar and cinnamon, place the apples slices carefully completing two times the pie circle; cut butter into very small pieces and sprinkle among with the sugar mixture over the apples. Lightly brush egg wash around edge of pie. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and the mixture of the sugar and butter have become a caramel. Remove from oven and sprinkle with vanilla sugar, if desired. Cool on wire rack.
