Time 10h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 stick unsalted butter
3 pounds Granny Smith apples (6 to 7), peeled, cored, and cut into eighths
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
Double-Crust Pie Dough
Water, for brushing
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Coarse sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until butter is golden brown and fragrant, about 8 minutes; let cool. Toss together apples and lemon juice in a large bowl. Combine flour, salt, granulated and brown sugars, and vanilla-bean seeds in another bowl, breaking up clumps and combining with a fork or fingers. Add browned butter to apples. Stir in flour mixture.
  • Roll out 1 disk of dough to just under 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Roll out remaining disk of dough to a 13-inch round. Rolled-out dough can be refrigerated up to 8 hours. (Be sure to let the 13-inch round sit at room temperature until pliable before topping pie, or it will break.) Place apples in pie shell, brush edges with water, and cover pie with top crust. Trim excess, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fold top edge over bottom crust to seal, and crimp as desired. Cut steam vents in top crust. Freeze pie 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack in lowest position. Brush pie with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Place a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet on floor of oven to catch any drips. Bake pie on lowest rack 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake until well browned, about 1 hour. Tent pie with foil and continue to bake until bubbling through vents, about 20 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack, at least 6 hours. Pie can be made 1 day ahead and stored at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use the Right Apples: Choose firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. They hold their shape during baking and provide a nice balance to the sweetness of the filling.
  • Brown the Butter: This adds a rich, nutty flavor to the pie. Make sure not to burn it, or else it will taste bitter.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: It brightens the flavor of the pie and prevents the apples from browning.
  • Add Spices: A mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom adds warmth and depth to the pie.
  • Don't Overfill the Pie Crust: Leave some space at the edges so the filling doesn't bubble over.
  • Chill the Pie Before Baking: This helps prevent the crust from shrinking and cracking.
  • Bake the Pie on a Sheet Pan: This catches any juices that bubble over and makes cleanup easier.

Conclusion:

This brown butter creamy apple pie is a classic dessert that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet apples, creamy filling, and flaky crust is irresistible. With a few simple tips, you can make this pie at home and impress your friends and family. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and let's get baking!
