1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup cold water
1 tsp salt
For the filling:
6-8 medium-sized apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water
Instructions
1. Prepare the crust
To make the crust, combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add in the cold water and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
3. Prepare the filling
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and water. Mix well until the apples are evenly coated.
4. Roll out the dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and press it gently into the bottom and sides.
5. Assemble the pie
Pour the apple filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Fold the edges of the crust over the filling, leaving the center of the pie exposed.
6. Bake the pie
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
7. Serve and enjoy
