Ingredients
Dough:
- 5 ½ ounces all purpose flour
- 8 ounces butter
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup ice water
Filling:
- 3 Granny Smith apples
- 3 golden deliciuous apples
- 5 ounces sugar
- 1 1/4 ounce cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pie shine:
- 1 part simple syrup
- 1 cup corn syrup
Instructions
- Many people work this dough in a mixer or food processor. I would recommend rubbing the butter into the flour by hand. Stop before the butter becomes completely mealy, as many apple pie recipes indicate. If you do this right, you will have paper-thin sheets of butter throughout the dough, and when it is cooked, the moisture in the butter turns to steam, and gives you nice little flaky pockets, AKA flaky pie crust.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and add the water 15 ml (1 Tbsp) at a time. You don’t want the dough too wet, and when you can roll it up, wrap it and put in the fridge for 1 hour. Remove, and cut into 2 equal pieces, for top and bottom.
- Combine the filling ingredients, roll the dough into a 9” (23 cm) pie pan, fill and top with second piece. Crimp and brush with an egg wash.
- Crimp and cut vents in top. Bake at 168 °C (335 °F) for around one hour. At the 30-minute mark, start brushing with the pie shine, and do this one more time at the 45-minute mark.
- Remove when the apples offer no resistance to a knife inserted in the middle.
- Eat your pie, take a nap, and then go for a nice long jog!
