Ingredients:

1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1 tsp cinnamon
5g
4 apples
640g
1/3 cup powdered sugar
55g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 tbsp water
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the crust:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1.5 cups (190g) all-purpose white wheat flour and 1/2 cup (110g) chilled, cubed butter.
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 1 tablespoon (16g) water to the mixture and continue to mix until the dough starts to come together. If necessary, add an additional tablespoon of water, a few drops at a time, until the dough forms.
3. Roll out the dough:
- Place the dough on a floured surface and roll it out into a circle about 1/8 inch thick. It should be large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
4. Prepare the apple filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the 4 peeled, cored, and sliced apples, 1 tsp (5g) cinnamon, and 1/2 cup (120g) brown sugar. Toss the apples until they are well coated with the sugar and cinnamon.
5. Assemble the pie:
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
6. Make the topping:
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup (55g) powdered sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apples.
7. Bake the pie:
- Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
8. Cool and serve:
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the filling to set and makes slicing easier.

Tips:

- Choose firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.

- Chill the butter before using it to ensure a flaky crust.

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to avoid undercooked pastry.

- Use a fork or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, tidy pieces.

With its delightful combination of sweet apples and warm spices, this apple pie is sure to become a favorite. By following these tips and paying attention to detail, you can create a homemade pie that stands out with its flaky crust and flavorful filling. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special touch.
