RECIPE INGREDIENTS
Filling:
3 pounds peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick Granny Smith Apples or etc
1/2 cup white granulated sugar or coconut sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2-3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Double Crust:
2-1/3 cups all-purpose unbleached flour plus extra for rolling out dough
1 cup butter,chilled or coconut oil, plus more for greasing the pie plate
1 tablespoon granulated white sugar or coconut sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
3/4 cup ice water plus more, if needed
Topping:
Vanilla bean ice cream and caramel sauce
DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE CLASSIC APPLE PIE RECIPE
Preheat oven to 375°.
Combine and mix all apple pie filling ingredients in a bowl. Cover and set aside to marinate.
Double Pie Crust:
Before starting, place all ingredients in freezer to be cold to ensure the crust comes out flaky. Grease a pie dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix 2-1/3 cups flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 cup chilled butter slices. Using a pastry blender, work the mixture until you get a crumbly texture with about 1/2-inch inch butter chunks.
Starting with 1/4 cup ice water, gradually add the ice water into the mixture then your fingertips, work dough until it just comes together into a ball. Set aside ice water in case you need more later if the dough dries out.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap to prevent drying and refrigerate for a 1/2 hour before rolling out.
Divide dough ball evenly in half with a dough scraper. Wrap 1 half in the plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator to chill while you work what will be the bottom crust.
On a lightly floured surface, roll half the dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to the pie dish. Chill bottom dough
Transfer the apple pie filling, pour any excess pie filling juice over the apple slices.
Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Beat egg white until foamy; brush over crust.
Bake on the lowest rack 60-70 minutes, until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, covering with foil halfway if crust begins to get too dark.
Cool on a wire rack. If desired, serve with ice cream and caramel sauce.
