Instructions

Apple Pie Crust Recipe

To begin, simply mix together the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. 

Next, add in the cold pieces of butter and briefly pulse a few times to mix them in, just until they’re covered with the flour mixture. 

Lastly, gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time until it all starts to stick together without crumbling apart. 

Separate the dough into 2 equal balls. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for up to an hour.

Apple Pie Filling Recipe

Place apple slices in a bowl and toss with sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Toss everything together with your hands

At this point, preheat your oven to 425℉.

Rolling Out the Dough

Take the dough out of the fridge after about 45 minutes. 

On a lightly floured surface, working quickly, roll out one at a time and leave the other ball in the fridge, so the butter in the dough doesn’t get too warm in the meantime. 

Putting It All Together

Place the bottom crust in a lightly greased pie pan and dump all that apple-y goodness inside.

Place a few pats of butter on top of it all and then your top crust goes on top. Slice a few steam vents on top and create whatever artistic edge you’d like on your pie crust.

Brush the top with an egg wash (beat one egg and a splash of cream and brush it all over the top crust). 

The final step is to cover the top of the pie with a crazy amount of coarse sugar, which you can find at a bulk spice store.

Bake your apple pie for 40 to 50 minutes or until it smells so delicious you can’t take it anymore…the nose knows!

Serve with ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
