Pie Ingredients

Method

Pie Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pie Crust

    In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Toss to coat the apples evenly.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pie

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one dough disk on a floured surface to fit your pie pan. Place the rolled dough in the pan and fill with the apple mixture. Roll out the second dough disk and place over the filling. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

  4. 4

    Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the warm apple pie and serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.
