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.

Steps:
- Instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Roll out the single pie crust and line a 9inch pie dish with the crust. Crimp edges as desired. 2. In a bowl, combine the tablespoon of coarse or raw sugar and ½ teaspoon of the cinnamon. Brush the 2 teaspoons of melted butter on the bottom of the pie crust, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter. Set aside. 3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, ¼ cup butter, water, corn syrup, and remaining ¾ teaspoon of cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the brown sugar. Let the mixture boil for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat. Stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla, and set aside. 4. In a mixing bowl, beat the ¼ cup softened butter on medium speed for 30 seconds. Beat in the ½ cup of granulated sugar, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar. Beat in the egg and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Slowly beat in the milk, just until combined. Add in the flour, and beat to combine. 5. Spread the cookie mixture evenly into the pie dish. Slowly pour the syrup over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. 6. Cover the edges of the pie with foil, and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue to bake until the top of the pie is puffed and golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 20 more minutes. Cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. If desired, serve with cinnamon ice cream or vanilla ice cream dusted with cinnamon.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Apples: Granny Smith apples are recommended in the recipe for their tart flavor that pairs well with the sweet filling. However, you can use other firm and tart apples like Braeburn, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
- Slicing the Apples: To achieve even cooking, slice the apples thinly and uniformly. This will ensure that they soften evenly in the filling.
- Preparing the Crust: Make sure the butter is cold before incorporating it into the dry ingredients. This will help create a flaky and tender crust.
- Rolling Out the Dough: When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking. Roll the dough to a 12-inch circle, large enough to cover the bottom and sides of the pie plate.
- Filling the Pie: When filling the pie, mound the apple slices in the center, leaving about 1 inch of space from the edges. This will allow for expansion during baking.
- Sealing the Pie: Before baking, brush the edges of the bottom crust with water and fold the top crust over, pressing the edges together firmly to seal. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to create a decorative finish.
- Baking the Pie: Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 1 hour or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cooling the Pie: Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from becoming runny.
