Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 60 g granulated sugar
- 220 g cold unsalted butter (cubed)
- 1 kg apples (Pink Lady, Royal Gala, or Fuji)
- 190 g brown sugar
- 1¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1¼ tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2½ tbsp water
- 5 tbsp almond flour (or other finely ground nuts or breadcrumbs)
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water
- Vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add cold butter and mix until crumbly. Gradually add water until dough forms; chill for 30 minutes.
- Make the Apple Filling: Peel and slice apples thinly. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, and water. Cook until apples soften slightly.
- Assemble the Pie: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out half of the chilled dough; fit into a pie dish. Fill with apple mixture and top with rolled dough; cut slits for steam to escape.
- Bake the Pie: Brush top crust with egg wash; sprinkle almond flour and brown sugar over it. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve with Ice Cream: Allow pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
