Ingredients
For the Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsalted butter cut into cubes
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 Tbsp cold water
For the Filling
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 pounds apples peeled, cored and sliced (~5-6 large apples)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground allspice
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tbsp of water
- 2 Tbsp coarse sugar such as sanding sugar or turbinado
- {optional} vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream for serving
Instructions
For the Dough
- Grease and flour (4) mini pie pans, each one measuring ~4”x2”. (Note: These mini springform pans work perfectly for this recipe.) Place pans on a foil-lined baking pan; set pan aside.
- Using a food processor, add the flour, butter and salt. Pulse several times until a crumbly mixture forms.
- Add egg yolk and 2-3 Tbsp of water; pulse until dough comes together in a ball.
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a disc and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour. (Note: Dough can be made the day before and refrigerated overnight.)
For the Filling
- Using a large, deep skillet, add butter and place over medium-high heat.
- Once butter has melted, add apples, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, ginger and salt; stir until well combined. Let cook for 5-7 minutes, or until apples have begun to soften.
- Add flour and cornstarch; stir until well combined. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 more minutes.
- Transfer apples into a large bowl. Add lemon juice; stir until well combined. Let mixture cool completely (~30 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each dough ball into an 8” circle. Press one piece of dough into each of the 4 prepared pans. Using a fork, poke holes in the dough.
- Divide filling evenly into 4 pans. Fold excess dough over top, but do not seal. Brush tops of dough with the egg wash. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the pie.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until tops of pies are golden brown.
- Let pies cool for 30 minutes before serving.
- {Optional} Serve pies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream.
