Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• Ice water (6 to 8 tablespoons)
• 6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water)
• Coarse sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar until well combined.
2. Add the cold butter to the bowl and use your fingers to quickly work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
3. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. In a large bowl, mix together the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
6. Roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
7. Spoon the apple mixture into the pie crust and dot with the 3 tablespoons of butter.
8. Roll out the remaining dough and use a knife or pastry cutter to create strips of dough to create a lattice pattern on top of the pie.
9. Brush the egg wash over the top of the lattice crust and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
10. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Verdict:

This apple pie recipe is perfect for autumn! The combination of Granny Smith apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice creates a warm and cozy flavor that is perfect for cooler weather. The buttery crust is flaky and delicious, and the lattice pattern on top adds a special touch. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat!
