Instructions
- Make the pie crust: Whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough just comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat.
- Pour apple mixture into the pie crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough and either place it over the filling or cut into strips for a lattice top. Crimp edges to seal.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let cool completely before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a combination of apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn. You can also add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the filling to prevent browning.
