8 servings
4 hours, 10 minutes total (Active 30 minutes)

Ingredients

... For the crust
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 11 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cubed
  • 4 tablespoons water (+ extra as needed)
  • Plastic wrap
... For the filling
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons apple pie spice (or ground cinnamon)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 large Granny Smith (or Gala) apples

Steps

    1. Prepare the crust. Mix flour, salt, and sugar in medium bowl. Cut butter into cubes. Add butter to flour mixture, pinching the cubes until mixture resembles very coarse crumbs, with some of the butter the size of small peas.
    2. Add water and work mixture with hands until dough comes together (do not overwork). (Note: If dough is still crumbly add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, up to 4 tablespoons more.) Divide dough in half; flatten each half into a disk and wrap individually in plastic wrap, then chill at least 1 hour.
    3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll each disk of dough on a floured surface into a 14-inch round, then carefully place one dough over a 9-inch pie plate. Fit crust gently into bottom and up sides; trim dough to a 1-inch overhang and fold under to seal and form a rim.
    4. Prepare the filling. Mix in large bowl: sugar, flour, apple pie spice, and salt. Peel and core apples, then cut into ¾-inch slices. Combine apples with sugar mixture, then transfer filling to piecrust. Place second piecrust over filling; crimp to seal crusts together.
    5. Puncture center of pie with a fork; bake 35–45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let stand 2 hours to cool. Serve.
    Note: If piecrust begins to get too brown, cover edges with foil or pie shields and continue to bake.
