Total Time 6 hours 15 minutes

Prep Time 40 minutes

Cook Time 0S

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 c. cold, unsalted butter (cubed)
6 tbsp. very cold water
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
8 large apples, such as Granny Smith or McIntosh (about 4 pounds total), peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tbsp. heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the pie crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. With a pastry cutter, gradually cut the cold butter into the flour until pea-sized pieces form. In a small bowl, combine the cold water and apple cider vinegar. Add the vinegar mixture to the flour/butter mixture 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently in between each addition. Stir together until all of the ingredients are incorporated and the mixture holds together when pinched with your fingers. Turn the mixture out onto a clean countertop and knead 4 to 5 times until combined. Divide the dough into two evenly sized balls and flatten each to a disk shape, about 1/2-inch thick (with minimal cracks). Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours (or up to 2 days).
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚ and place a baking sheet on the bottom rack.
  • Roll out the remaining disk of dough on a floured surface into a 13-inch round. Carefully lay the dough over the filling, fold the overhanging dough under the overhang from the bottom crust, and crimp the edges of the crust using a fork. Cut a few 1-inch slits in the top crust (to release the steam). Brush the top of the pie with heavy cream. 
  • Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350˚ and bake, rotating halfway through, until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, 50 to 60 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool about 2 hours before slicing.
