Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3 –4 tbsp ice water

For the Filling:

  • 3 medium apples Honeycrisp or Gala, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp flour

For Assembly:

  • 1 egg + 1 tsp water egg wash
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Make the crust: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add ice water one tbsp at a time just until dough holds together. Flatten into a disk, wrap, and chill 30+ minutes.
  • Prep filling: Toss apple slices with both sugars, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour. Let sit 10 minutes.
  • Roll out crust: On a floured sheet of parchment, roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer parchment and dough to a baking sheet.
  • Assemble: Arrange apples in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over, pleating as you go.
  • Brush & sprinkle: Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Bake: At 400°F for 35–40 minutes or until crust is golden and apples are tender.
  • Cool slightly: Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Notes

  • No food processor? Use a fork or pastry cutter for the crust.
  • Try a mix of apple varieties for depth of flavor.
