Directions
- 1Peel, chop, and core 4-6 apples depending on size.
- 2Slice the apples into thin pieces.
- 3Add cinnamon to the apple slices and mix well, then set aside.
- 4Melt one stick of butter in a small pot.
- 5Add 3 tablespoons of flour to the melted butter and mix until incorporated.
- 6Add 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar and mix well.
- 7Add 1/4 cup of water and cook until a sauce forms.
- 8Pour the sauce over the apple slices and mix until evenly coated.
- 9Jar the apple filling and refrigerate if preparing the day before.
- 10Combine 3 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl.
- 11Add two sticks of cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture.
- 12Use a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter into the flour until crumbly.
- 13Add cold water gradually and mix until a rough, dry dough forms.
- 14Divide the dough into two disks, wrap each in plastic wrap, and chill for 4 hours.
- 15Flour a clean surface and roll out one piece of dough slowly until it is wider than your pie dish.
- 16Carefully transfer the rolled dough into the pie dish.
- 17Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
- 18Fold back the excess crust around the edges of the pie dish.
- 19Roll out the second piece of dough for the lattice crust.
- 20Use a bench scraper or knife to cut the dough into strips for the lattice.
- 21Lay several strips of dough in one direction across the pie.
- 22Fold back every other horizontal strip, place a vertical strip, and then fold the original horizontal strips back over it.
- 23Repeat the lattice pattern until the entire pie is covered.
- 24Trim any excess dough overhang with kitchen scissors and tuck the ends underneath the crust.
- 25Roll out any scrap pieces of dough and use leaf-shaped cutters to create decorative shapes.
- 26Place the leaf shapes around the edges of the pie crust.
- 27Prepare an egg wash by mixing one egg with a little bit of water.
- 28Brush the egg wash over the entire pie crust.
- 29Bake the pie at 415°F (213°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and bake for another 30-40 minutes.
