Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
  • 6–8 tbsp ice water
  • 6–7 medium apples, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, diced
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  2. Add ice water 1 tbsp at a time until dough comes together.
  3. Divide dough into two disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour.

  8. Roll out the second dough disk and place over the filling. Seal edges and cut slits on top.
