Ingredients

Equipment: round baking dish, 25 cm diameter

Dough

• 350 g all-purpose flour (plus a little for rolling)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• A pinch of salt
• 225 g cold butter, diced
• 30 ml cold water

Filling

• 750 g apples (e.g. Granny Smith or Braeburn), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 100 g sugar
• 30 g all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• Juice of 1 small lemon

For brushing

• 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
• 1 tbsp milk or cream

Method

1. Make the dough: in a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold diced butter and work it in with your fingers or a pastry cutter until crumbly.
2. Gradually add the cold water and knead until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Roll out most of the dough on a floured surface until it is large enough to cover the baking dish and hang over the edges. Line the dish, trim the excess, and prick the base all over with a fork.
4. Make the filling: in a bowl, combine the apple slices with the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
5. Spread the apple mixture into the lined dish.
6. Roll out the remaining dough, cut it into strips, and weave a lattice over the filling. Seal the edges well.
7. Mix the egg yolk with the milk or cream and brush it over the lattice.
8. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C (about 390°F) for about 45–50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crisp.
9. Take the pie out of the oven and let it cool before cutting into pieces.

Notes

• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
