Traditional American apple pie

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 10.6 oz
Granny Smith apples - 8 pieces
Butter - 7.1 oz
Meyer Lemon Juice - ½ teaspoon
Corn Starch - 1 tablespoon
Sugar - 1⅕ cups
Cinnamon - to taste
Salt - to taste
Water - ¼ cup

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the room temperature butter into small cubes and sift the flour with salt. Add the butter and rub it in until crumbly. Mix the water with the lemon juice and gradually add it to the dry mixture. Knead the dough, form it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.

Step 2

Wash the apples, peel them, and cut each half into 5 pieces. Drizzle with a little lemon juice, add sugar and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Divide the dough in a 2/3 ratio. Roll out the larger portion. Place it in a 22 cm pie dish, pricking the bottom with a fork all over. Add the apples and cover with the remaining rolled-out layer of dough. Crimp the edges and make a hole in the center. Beat an egg lightly and brush it over the top of the pie. Optionally, sprinkle with sugar.
