Ingredients

Pie Crust
  • 2-1/2 cups Unbleached White Fine Pastry Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Butter chilled and cubed
  • 1/2 - 2/3 cups Ice Water
  • 2 Tbsp Milk
  • 1 Tbsp Bob's Red Mill Sparkling Sugar or Turbinado Sugar
Filling
  • 4 lbs Granny Smith Apples peeled and cored
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in water, one tablespoon at a time, until dough begins to form. Divide dough and form each piece into a disk. Wrap each piece in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, cut apples into 1/4-inch slices and place in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and spices. Stir to coat.
  3. Preheat oven to 425ºF. On a floured surface, roll first disk into a 12-inch circle. Place crust in a 9 - 10 inch pie plate. Press the dough into pie plate. Pour apple mixture into pie shell.
  4. Roll out second disk into a 12-inch circle and careful lift and place over filling. Trim dough edges, leaving 1/2-inch overhang. Fold under overhanging dough and crimp edges to seal. Cut four slits in top crust.
  5. Brush top crust with milk and sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp sugar. Place a baking pan on lower rack. Bake on middle rack for 25 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375ºF and bake for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack at least 1 hour.
