Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (plus extra for topping)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4–5 tbsp ice water
- 3 medium apples (Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, thinly sliced)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- To make the dough, combine flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water until the dough holds together. Chill for at least one hour.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Roll out chilled dough into a rough circle on a floured surface and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spread the apple mixture onto the center of the dough, leaving a two-inch border. Fold edges over the apples.
- Brush crust edges with melted butter and sprinkle with additional sugar before baking for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
