Ingredients
  

  • 6 to 8 medium Granny Smith apples
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • pinch nutmeg (optional)
  • squeeze lemon juice (optional)
  • 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 12 tablespoons cold butter
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour (for crust)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Rolling pin
  • Pastry cutter or forks
  • Pie pan
  • Baking sheet
  • Whisk for egg wash

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the pie crust by mixing 2 1/2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl.
  3. Cut cold butter into small cubes and mix into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add ice water gradually until the dough comes together; do not overwork.
  5. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Peel and slice apples into thin quarter-inch slices; combine in a large bowl.
  7. Sprinkle white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla over apples and toss to coat.
  8. Let the apple mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
  9. Roll out one crust disk and place it in a pie pan, leaving some overhang.
  10. Pour the apple filling into the crust, mounding it high.
  11. Dot the apple filling with small pieces of butter.
  12. Roll out the second crust and place it over the filling; trim and crimp the edges.
  13. Cut slits into the top crust for steam to escape.
  14. Brush the top crust with an egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  15. Place a baking sheet on the rack below the pie to catch any drips.
  16. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 40 to 50 minutes.
  17. Check for doneness; the crust should be golden brown and the filling bubbling.
  18. Allow cooling for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

Choose firm, tart apples like Granny Smith and mix varieties for more depth of flavor. Allow the pie to cool for a few hours post-baking to ensure the filling sets properly and avoid a runny pie. Serve with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream for a delightful dessert experience. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before serving for an extra touch. Store leftovers at room temperature for a day or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Frozen pie can last up to 4 months, reheating carefully in the oven for best results.
