Pie Crust

Topping

Method

Pie Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the pie crust

    In a large bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of unsalted butter (cut into small pieces), 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add ice water

    Gradually add 6 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough.

  3. 3

    Chill the dough

    Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Apple Filling

  1. 4

    Prepare the apples

    Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples into thin slices.

  2. 5

    Mix the filling

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Assembling & Baking

  1. 6

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 7

    Roll out the dough

    On a floured surface, roll out one disc of chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place it in the pie pan, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.

  3. 8

    Add the apple filling

    Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

  4. 9

    Top with the second crust

    Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

  5. 10

    Bake the pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

  6. 11

    Cool the pie

    Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before serving.

Serving

  1. 12

    Serve with ice cream

    Slice the cooled apple pie and serve warm with 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream on each slice, drizzled with caramel sauce.
