Ingredients

Tick them off as you go. Quantities are for 8 servings.

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 tsp salt
• 6 to 8 tbsp ice water
• 2½ lb Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, peeled and sliced
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 egg, beaten, for brushing
• coarse sugar

Method

1. Make the doughPulse the flour, salt and butter until pea-sized pieces remain. Add ice water a spoonful at a time until the dough just holds together. Divide in two, flatten, and chill 1 hour.

2. FillingToss the apples with the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon juice. Let them sit 15 minutes.

3. AssembleRoll one disk to fit a 9-inch pie plate and fill with the apples. Roll the second disk, cut into strips and weave a lattice. Trim, crimp the edge, brush with egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

4. BakeBake at 425°F for 20 minutes, then reduce to 375°F and bake 40 to 45 minutes more until golden and the filling bubbles. Cover the edges with foil if they brown too fast.

5. CoolCool at least 3 hours so the filling sets before slicing.
