Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons white sugar, divided
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon water
5 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C); position rack in the bottom third of oven.
  • Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and cream of tartar in a large bowl. Drizzle in butter. Stir crust mixture until just combined and crumbly.
  • Transfer 1 1/4 cups of crust mixture into a separate bowl; add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Knead with your fingertips until well combined but still crumbly. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze crumb topping until ready to use.
  • Pour vinegar and water into the remaining crust mixture. Mix to form a dough; transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth. Press dough onto the bottom and sides of a pie plate using a flat-bottomed measuring cup to make the bottom crust. Crimp edges with a lightly floured fork. Freeze until ready to use.
  • Toss apples, 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and sea salt together in a large bowl. Pile over the bottom crust and cover with the crumb topping.
  • Bake on the bottom rack of the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (174 degrees C). Turn pie and continue baking, covering crust aluminum foil or a pie shield halfway through, until crust is golden brown, about 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before slicing, about 1 hour.
