Time 3h15m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds mixed apples (such as Golden Delicious, McIntosh and Pink Lady)
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Prepare the filling: Peel, halve and core the apples. Cut each half into 6 wedges and toss with the sugar and lemon juice in a bowl. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apple mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the firmer apples begin to soften but still hold their shape, 8 to 9 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and toss until the juices begin to thicken, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and cool completely. (The filling can be made up to 2 days ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
  • Make the dough: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the shortening and pulse until it disappears, about 30 seconds. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Beat 1 egg with 1/4 cup ice water in a bowl, then add to the processor and pulse once or twice. (Stop before the dough gathers into a ball.) Lay out 2 sheets of plastic wrap; divide the dough between the sheets and pat each into a disk. Wrap the disks tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Roll 1 disk of dough into a 12-inch round on a floured surface (or between 2 pieces of floured parchment paper). Ease into a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish glass pie plate. Add the filling, mounding it slightly, and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Chill the pie while you roll the remaining dough into a 12-inch round.
  • Lay the dough over the filling and press the 2 crusts together around the edges. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp with your fingers. Beat the remaining egg in a bowl and brush over the top crust; sprinkle with sugar. Pierce the top with a knife a few times to let steam escape. Chill 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the pie on a baking sheet; bake until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly, 55 to 60 minutes. (Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and cool until set, 2 hours.

I made this pie for my family, and they all loved it! The crust was flaky and the filling was flavorful. The only thing I would change is to add a little more nutmeg to the filling, as it was a bit bland for my taste.

This pie is a keeper! I've made it several times now, and it's always a hit. The crust is flaky and the filling is perfectly balanced. I love that it's not too sweet, so I can enjoy a slice without feeling overwhelmed.

I've tried many apple pie recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. The crust is so light and flaky, and the filling is just the right amount of sweetness. I love that it's not too heavy, so I can enjoy a slice without feeling weighed down.

This is a truly divine apple pie - the perfect combination of sweet, tart, and flaky. I used Granny Smith apples, and the tartness really balanced out the sweetness of the filling. The crust was golden brown and flaky, and the filling was thick and g
