Steps:
- To make the dough by hand: Whisk together the flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter. (If the flour/butter mixture gets warm, refrigerate it for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Add the egg and stir the dough together with a fork or by hand in the bowl. If the dough is dry, sprinkle up to a tablespoon more of cold water over the mixture.
- To make the dough in a food processor: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with the metal blade until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 1 to 2 times; don't let the dough form into a ball in the machine. (If the dough is very dry, add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.) Remove the bowl from the machine, remove the blade and bring the dough together by hand.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
- For the filling: Put the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Peel, halve and core the apples. Cut each half into 4 wedges. Toss the apple with the lemon juice. Add the sugar and toss to combine evenly.
- Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the apples and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the apples soften and release most of their juices, about 7 minutes.
- Strain the apples in a colander over a medium bowl to catch all the juice. Shake the colander to get as much liquid as possible. Return the juices to the skillet, and simmer over medium heat until thickened and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Toss the apples with the reduced juice and spices in a medium bowl. Set aside to cool completely. (This filling can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated or frozen for up to 6 months.)
- To assemble the pie: Cut the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a disc 11 to 12 inches wide. Layer the dough between pieces of parchment or wax paper on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
- Place a baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan with one of the discs of dough, and trim it so it lays about 1/2 inch beyond the edge of the pan. Add the apple filling to the pan.
- Use a chef's knife or a pizza cutter and cut the second round into 1/2-inch thick strips. Lay strips of dough, evenly spaced, across the entire pie. Weave more strips of dough perpendicular through the previous strips to make a lattice or basket weave design across the entire pie. Trim the excess ends from the strips of dough. Pinch the bottom crust edge and lattice edge together, and flute the edge as desired. Brush the surface of the dough with egg and then sprinkle with sugar. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Bake the pie on the preheated baking sheet until the crust is golden, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a rack for at least 3 hours before serving. The pie keeps well at room temperature (covered) for 24 hours, or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
CHEF JOHN'S CARAMEL APPLE PIE
To me, this is the purest and most intensely flavored apple pie recipe there is. The interesting thing about this recipe is the way the caramel sauce is poured over the apples and the lattice crust. You know how with a traditional apple pie some of the apple juices will caramelize as it bakes and bubble out of the pie and bake into and onto the flaky crust? That's how this whole pie is.

APPLE WALNUT PIE
My family is fond of any treat featuring apples, but this pie is the one they like best. Unlike some fruit pies, this crust doesn't become soggy, thanks to the addition of ground walnuts. Everyone agrees the flavor of nuts pairs well with apples in this fall favorite. -Evonne Wurmnest, Normal, Illinois

LATTICE-TOPPED APPLE PIE WITH BROWN SUGAR & WALNUTS

- Preheat oven to 400° F. Peel, halve and core each apple, then cut each half into four or five wedges. Mix 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the brown sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, salt, and walnuts in a large mixing bowl. Add the apple wedges and toss to blend. (cornstarch optional) Roll out bottom of pie crust, prick bottom with fork before filling. Roll the remaining piece of dough into a 1/8-inch thick rectangle. Using a fluted pastry cutter, cut the rectangle into 1/2- to 3/4-inch wide strips. Lay 5 or 6 strips across the pie. Weave a center strip first, folding back alternate strips every time you add another cross strip. Trim the lattice strips to the edge of the pie dish. Fold the bottom crust over the lattice strips and crimp to seal. Cover pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Meanwhile, set a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil on the lowest rack in the oven to catch any drippings. Remove pie from refrigerator and brush egg wash lightly over the top; sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar over crust. Place pie in preheated oven on a middle rack and bake for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350ºF; cover the rim of the pie with aluminum foil or a pie shield and continue baking until golden brown, about 45 to 75 minutes. If crust begins to brown too quickly, tent pie loosely with aluminum foil. When done, remove from oven and place on a cooling rack; cool for 1 hour before cutting and serving.

Steps:
- For crust:
- Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and shortening and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 6 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather into ball; divide into 2 pieces. Flatten each into disk. Wrap each in plastic; chill 2 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Let dough soften slightly before rolling out.)
- For filling:
- Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Mix first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Add apples and toss to blend.
- Roll out 1 dough disk on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold edge under, forming high-standing rim; crimp. Add filling. Roll out second dough disk on floured surface to 13-inch round. Cut into twelve 1-inch-wide strips. Arrange 6 strips across pie. Form lattice by arranging 6 strips diagonally across first strips. Gently press ends into crust edges. Brush lattice with milk. Sprinkle lightly with additional sugar. Bake pie 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Continue baking until juices bubble thickly and crust is deep golden, covering edges with foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Cool on rack 1 hour. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Let stand on rack.)
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will help to keep your pie from getting too watery.
- Toss your apples with sugar, flour, and spices before adding them to the pie crust. This will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny.
- Dot the top of the pie with butter before baking it. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
