Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse to mix.
- Add cold, diced butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Mix in cold water until you achieve moist clumps.
- Transfer dough to parchment paper, divide it, and form into balls; flatten to make 2 discs and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice apples thinly to measure 7 cups and sprinkle with cinnamon to coat.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, whisk in flour for 1 minute, then add water and sugar to boil. Simmer for 3 minutes and remove from heat.
- Pour the sauce over the apples; stir well to coat.
- Flour the counter and roll the bottom crust into a 12" circle. Place in a 9" pie plate.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly into the crust, avoiding filling on the edges.
- Roll out the second crust to 11" and cut into strips. Arrange strips in a woven pattern over the top.
- Trim the edges and seal with fingers or a fork.
- Brush the crust with egg wash and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F. Reduce heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes, checking frequently.
Notes
Allow the pie to cool before slicing for cleaner pieces.
Serve with vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor.
