You can taste the apples in this pie. So good.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks (1 cup) cold butter
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup ice-cold water
- 9 granny smith apples
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 egg
- 1 splash water
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400ยบ.
Put the butter, flour, and salt into the food processor and process until well-combined. While running, slowly drizzle in the water. Right when the dough comes together, stop processing.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces, and shape each into a flat disk.
Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
While the dough is chilling, peel, core, and dice the apples. Toss with sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Roll out one disk of dough and line your pie pan. Add the apple mixture. Then roll out another disk of dough, cut out air vents, and then place it on top of the apples. Seal the edges.
Beat the egg with a splash of water. Brush the top of your pie with the egg wash.
Bake for 1 hour, turning halfway through to ensure an evenly browned crust.
Let cool before serving.

I'm so happy this worked for you! I love cooking with my kids because I'm hoping they'll take over soon. :) Also, thanks for the pins and kind words!
This is refreshingly easy! I just found you on accident, and I've been thinking of making an apple pie with my kids soon (to go along with a book we are reading in our homeschool)...then it hit me, we'll use your recipe! Thanks again for sharing! I just love your perspective on recipes, right up my alley-so I pinned A TON (to Pinterest :)
