Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

Handmade Pastry
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 pounds apples such as Rome, Cortland, or Granny Smith, or a combination, peeled, cored, and cut into 3/4-inch wedges (about 8 cups)
1/2 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon ground spices (combination of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and clove)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (or orange juice)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (or orange zest), optional
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll one disc of dough into a 12-inch round that's 1/8-inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  • In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, spices, lemon juice, zest, and salt; toss to combine. Pour into lined pie plate. Dot with butter. Roll second disc of dough into a 12-inch round that's 1/8 inch thick. Lay dough over fruit. Cut vents into top crust. Trim edges to 1 inch over pie pan, and seal, crimping edges with thumb and forefinger. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Remove pie from refrigerator. Brush crust with heavy cream, and sprinkle with sugar. Place on a baking sheet; this will catch any juices that may overflow during baking. Bake until pastry is golden and juices in center of pie are bubbling, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool for 1 hour before serving.
