👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Crust
Mix flour and salt, then cut in cold butter until crumbly.
Add ice water 1 tbsp at a time until dough forms.
Roll out on parchment into a rough 12-inch circle (rustic edges are fine!).
Transfer (on parchment) to a baking sheet.
2. Prepare the Filling
Toss apples, sugars, lemon juice, spices, and cornstarch.
Pile onto the crust, leaving a 2-inch border.
Dot with butter.
3. Fold & Bake
Fold crust edges over the apples (it’s okay if some filling peeks through!).
Brush crust with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-50 mins until golden and bubbly.
4. Cool & Serve
Let rest 15 mins before slicing.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
💡 Pro Tips
✅ Use tart apples – Granny Smith holds up best.
✅ Prevent sogginess – Toss apples with cornstarch right before filling.
✅ Go free-form – No pie dish needed—just a baking sheet!
✅ Reheat leftovers – Crisp in the oven at 350°F for 10 mins.
