Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 recipe for double pie crust
  • 2 1/4 lbs Granny Smith Applespeeled, cored  6-7 apples (7 cups thinly sliced)
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 Tbsp all purpose flour 
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 Tbsp water, for egg wash

Instructions

  • Make the  pie crust pie and chill per instructions while preparing the filling. Preheat oven to 425˚F.
  • Melt butter in a   medium saucepan over medium heat.  whisk in 3 Tbsp flour then simmer for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Whisk in 1/4 cup water, 1 cup sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and continue simmering 3 minutes, whisking frequently then remove from heat.
  • Peel remove cores and thinly slice 7 cups of apples and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle the top with 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon and toss to combine. Pour the sauce over the apples and stir to coat the apple slices.
  • Sprinkle your work surface with flour and roll out bottom pie crust to a 12″ diameter circle. Wrap it around your   rolling pin to transfer it to the 9 PIE PLAT . Add apple mixture, mounding slightly in the center and being careful not to get the filling on the edges which would make it difficult to seal.
  • Roll second crust into an 11″ round and cut into 10 even thickness strips using a Pizza cutter. Arrange strips in a woven lattice pattern over the top (see video tutorial). Beat together 1 egg and 1 Tbsp water and brush the top with egg mixture.
  • Bake at 425˚F in the center of the oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350˚F and continue baking another 45 minutes or until apples are soft and filling is bubbling through the vents.* Rest at room temp 1 hour before serving.

Notes

*Place a sheet of foil on the rack below the apple pie to catch any potential drips from the pie.
