Preparation
For the pie dough:
- Dice butter and refrigerate.
- Sift flour. Add salt and sugar to mixer bowl.
- Add cold butter pieces
- Using paddle, mix on low speed until fat is medium-dice or walnut-sized.
- Add water/vinegar and mix on low for 1-2 min until dough begins to come together. The dough should be shaggy, more dry in appearance but can be formed into a mass by hand. The fat pieces should be visible.
- Shape into 2 round, flat disks for top and bottom crusts. Chill for one hour.
To assemble:
- Have bottom pie shell lined, and top crust (crust recipe below) rolled out, both very cold.
- Toss apple with lemon juice, and all other ingredients except egg wash and sugar in the raw
- Layer apples well, in the corners and all the way up. Aim for a tall, compact apple pie.
- Dot the top with the butter.
- Cut any holes or decor in the top crust, then place it on top of the apples.
- Press to adhere and join the top and bottom edge of dough.
- Trim the edges with knife or scissors to 1/2 inch over the lip of the pie plate.
- Roll the edges underneath itself to ‘fasten’ or seal in pie.
- Shape edges with fork or crimp by pinching.
- Lightly egg wash pie crust. Place in refrigerator or freezer for 15 min to keep dough very cold.
- Set your oven to 400°F. Bake for 10 minutes and reduce heat.
- Reduce oven to 325°F and continue baking for about 25-30 minutes or longer until crust is completely brown and filling is gooey and bubbly.
- Allow to cool at room temp for 1 hour before slicing.
