Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tsp. kosher salt
2 to 4 Tbsp. very cold water
9 to 10 tart apples (Granny Smith or McIntosh), peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Dash of kosher salt
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
1. Mix flour, butter, and salt in a bowl until butter is incorporated. Add cold water until dough forms. Divide into two disks and chill 2 hours.
2. Roll one disk into a 12-inch circle and fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Refrigerate.
3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Spoon into crust and dot with butter.
4. Roll second disk, cut into 12 strips, and arrange in a lattice design. Crimp edges.
5. Bake at 425°F for 15 mins. Lower to 350°F and bake 45 mins. Cover with foil and bake 30 more mins until bubbly. Cool 1 hour.
Notes
For the best results, use a mix of Granny Smith for tartness and McIntosh for a softer texture.
Always use ice-cold water for the flakiest crust.
