Cook Time

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you'll need for the pie crust:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice-cold water
And here are the ingredients for the apple pie filling:
  • 6 cups peeled and sliced Gala apples
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • rolling pin
  • mixing bowls
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • pastry cutter or food processor

Method

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar for the crust. Add the cubed butter and either use a pastry cutter or food processor to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 2. Add 1/4 cup of ice-cold water and mix with your hands until the dough comes together. Add more water if needed. 3. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes. 4. Preheat your oven to 375°F. 5. In another mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. 6. In a saucepan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour until smooth. Add the lemon juice and pour the mixture over the apples. Toss to combine. 7. Roll out one of the pie crusts to fit the bottom of the pie dish. Add the apple mixture on top. 8. Roll out the second crust and place it on top of the apples. Cut slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape. 9. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. 10. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

If you want to make your crust ahead of time, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Just thaw it in the fridge overnight before using.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use a different type of apple?

Yes, you can use a different type of apple if you prefer. Just keep in mind that different apples have different flavors and textures, so your pie may turn out differently.

Do I have to use both granulated sugar and brown sugar?

No, you can use just one type of sugar if you prefer. Brown sugar will give the pie a slightly richer flavor, while granulated sugar will make it sweeter.

Can I use a store-bought pie crust?

Yes, you can use a store-bought pie crust if you prefer. Just follow the instructions on the package for blind baking and baking times.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your butter and water are very cold. This will help your crust turn out flaky.
  • When making the crust, don't overwork the dough. This can result in a tough crust.
  • Letting the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving will make it easier to slice and prevent the filling from being too runny.
  • If your crust starts to brown too quickly while baking, cover it with foil for the remainder of the baking time.
