apple-cinnamon-pie

Ingredients

• 2.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 6 piece apples
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 piece egg
• 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. 3

   Gradually add the water, stirring until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.

5. 5

   Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place the dough in the pie pan and fill with the apple mixture.

6. 6

   Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.

7. 7

   Beat the egg with milk and brush the mixture over the top crust.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the crust is golden brown.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
