Categories     Dessert     Apple

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
• Deep-Dish Pate Brisee or store bought pie crust, dividied into two pieces, one larger for covering the pie.
• 5 1/2 pounds firm tart apples (about 14), such as Empire or Granny Smith
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 large egg yolk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out a smaller piece of pate brisee into a 15-inch round about 1/8-inch thick, dusting surface with flour to prevent sticking, as needed. Brush off excess flour. Roll dough around rolling pin, and place over a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Line plate with dough, pressing it into the corners. Trim dough to within 1 inch of the pie plate. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate. 2. Roll out remaining piece of dough into an 18-inch round. Transfer round to a baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. 3. Peel and core apples, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices in a large bowl; sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent discoloration. In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cinnamon; toss with apple slices. 4. Remove remaining dough from refrigerator; place apple mixture in prepared pie plate, mounding it in a tall pile. Dot apples with butter. Place dough round over apples. Tuck edge of top dough between edge of bottom dough and rim of pan. Using your fingers, gently press both layers of dough along the edge to seal, and crimp as desired. 5. Using a paring knife, cut several vents in top of dough to allow steam to escape. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk with 2 tablespoons water to make a glaze. Brush surface with egg glaze; sprinkle with sugar. Place on a baking sheet (this will catch any juices that may overflow during baking). Bake until crust is golden, about 15 minutes. 6. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool completely before serving.

This is the best apple pie I've ever had! The crust is so flaky and the filling is perfectly sweet and tart.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I used Granny Smith apples. I'll try using a sweeter variety next time.

I'm not a huge fan of apple pie, but this one was really good. The crust was flaky and the filling was perfectly spiced.

The crust was a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I'll try brushing the crust with butter before baking next time.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

This is my go-to apple pie recipe. It's easy to follow and the results are always delicious. I like to use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples for a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness.

This apple pie was a hit! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the apples were tender and flavorful. I loved the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg, which gave it a warm, cozy flavor.
