The Perfect Crust
Ingredients:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
6-8 tbsp ice water
Start by mixing the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to break it into pea-sized pieces. Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing the dough with a wooden spoon. Once the dough comes together, form it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
The Filling
Ingredients:
6 cups sliced apples (peeled and cored)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tbsp lemon juice
In a large bowl, mix together the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.
The Assembly
Ingredients:
1 egg (beaten)
1 tbsp milk
2 tbsp granulated sugar
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and crimp them with a fork. Pour the apple filling into the crust and spread it evenly. Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the filling. Brush the lattice with the beaten egg and milk mixture and sprinkle with sugar.
The Final Touch
Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. For an extra festive touch, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Your Christmas pie is now ready to be devoured by your friends and family.
