Ingredients

Pie Crust Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter grated or cut into cubes
1/4 cup ice water
1 tablespoon coarse sugar

Apple Filling

1 pound apples granny smith, Braeburn, sugar bee, honey crisp or a combination
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Place flour, salt and cold shredded butter in a bowl. Use a pastry cutter (or fork) to work the butter into the flour until it is crumbly in texture. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and flatten into a disc. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (you can also freeze for 20 minutes or so if you're pinched for time). Remove from the fridge about 10 minutes before you need to roll it out so it has a chance to soften a bit.
Roll the dough out on a flour dusted silicone baking mat (or parchment paper). I rolled mine out to a 9 – 10 inch oblong shape. No need for it to be perfect.
Combine the sliced apples with flour, brown sugar, cinnamon ginger, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla and lemon juice.
Place the apples in the center leaving a 2 inch space around the edge of the crust. Fold the edges over to touch the edges of the apples (some will be covered). Brush edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake at 425 for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 continue baking for 25 – 30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

You can make this recipe easier by using store-bought pie crust.

For the best results, make sure to allow the pie crust to warm a bit before trying to roll it out.
