Ingredients

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 0.333 cup ice water
  • 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3.5 lb mixed apples
  • 1 cup 100% apple juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup cornstarch
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Crust: In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, sugar, and salt, then pulse to combine.

  2. 2

    Cut the cold butter into 1/2-tablespoon sized pieces, then add the butter to the food processor. Pulse until the largest pieces of butter are the size of pebbles, then transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Add the cold water and apple cider vinegar, tossing to combine with a fork. Bring together with your hands until a round of dough forms. If the dough is dry, add more ice water, one tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too wet, add flour, one tablespoon at a time. The dough should be supple and soft, never sticky or crumbly.

  4. 4

    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and form into a disk. Form it into a ball. Use a sharp knife to cut it in half. Gently flatten each half into 1-inch-thick disks. Tightly wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or until ready to use. The dough will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Filling & Bake the Pie: Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Peel and core the apples, then thinly slice them no thicker than 1/4-inch thick. Take about half of the sliced apples and transfer them to a saucepan along with
