Description
A delicious and comforting dessert featuring a flaky crust filled with spiced apples and served with a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
- 6 cups thinly sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Roll out half of the dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place the bottom crust in the pie plate.
- In another bowl, toss apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Pour into the crust and dot with butter.
- Roll out the remaining dough and place over the filling. Seal and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft and crust is golden brown.
- Let cool before serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples.
- Serve warm for the best experience.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
