Instruction

  • Prepare pie dough.
  • Lightly dust work surface with flour. Roll out larger piece of dough to a circle 1/4-inch thick and about 13-inches in diameter. Transfer dough to 9-inch pie plate. Press the dough to the sides and bottom of pie plate. Allow excess dough to hangover plate. Cover with plastic wrap and keep chilled in the fridge.
  • Roll out smaller piece of dough to a circle 1/4-inch thick and about 11-inches in diameter. Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature while you prepare apples.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Apple Filling: Whisk together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
  • Wash, peel, and core apples. Slice apples to about 1/4-inch thick. Place sliced apples in a large bowl. Add lemon juice and toss to distribute. Add brown sugar mixture and fold to coat apple slices.
  • Place apples in dough-lined pie plate, making a mound in the center. Distribute cubed butter over the apples.
  • Place remaining rolled dough over apples. Cut vents in the center of the dough to allow steam to escape during baking.
  • Trim excess dough, leaving about a 1-inch overhang. Fold overhang into the pie and flute the edges with a fork, or crimp with your fingers.
  • To make egg wash: whisk together egg and milk. Lightly brush the top of the pie with egg wash. Sprinkle with topping.
  • To making topping: whisk together turbinado sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle over egg washed pie. 
  • Plate pie plate on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for another 40-45 minutes, rotating pie halfway through baking. Bake until top of pie is golden brown and apples are tender. Test to see if apples are done by piercing a knife through the vents. Let pie cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Serve at room temperature.
