Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 4-5 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
To make the pastry, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs. Drizzle in the ice water and mix with a fork until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a 12-inch circle. Place the dough into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges. Place the apples in a bowl and toss with the sugar and cinnamon. Arrange the apples in the pie plate and drizzle with the melted butter.
Roll out the remaining dough to a 12-inch circle and place over the apples. Cut a few slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape. Crimp the edges and brush with the beaten egg. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.
