4 SERVING

Ingredients:

67 ea. Large apples, cored/peeled, sliced 1/4 inch
1/2 cup Granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. Ground allspice
1½ tsp. Ground cinnamon
1 ea. Lemon, zest/juice
1 pinch Salt
1/4 cup Ap flour, for step 3
2 pieces Dough
1 tbsp. Ap flour
4 tbsp. Unsalted butter
1 ea. Egg (for egg wash)
2 tbsp. Milk (for egg wash)
1 tbsp. Coarse sugar for topping

Directions:

Step 1

Prepare homemade pie dough using my other video (link is available in the description box above) or thaw frozen, store-purchased dough. (two sheets)

Step 2

In a large bowl, stir the apple slices, sugar, flour, lemon zest + juice, cinnamon, and allspice together until thoroughly combined. Set filling aside and preheat oven to 375F.

Step 3

On a floured work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough (keep the other one in the refrigerator). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12-inches in diameter.

Step 4

Carefully place the dough into a 9×2-inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth. Prick a pie crust with a fork. Spoon the filling into the crust and discard the leftover juices in the bottom of the bowl. Place 1-cm pieces of butter over top of the apple mixture.

Step 5

Remove the other disc of chilled pie dough from the refrigerator. Roll the dough into a circle that is 12-inches diameter. Lattice the pie crust. Crimp or flute the edges to seal.
