Ingredients

Recipe for Buttery Pie Crust

    Apple Pie Filling

    • 6 apples peeled and thinly sliced
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 3 tbsp flour
    • 2 tbsp orange zest
    • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/4 tsp cardamom
    • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
    • 1/8 tsp cloves
    • 1/8 tsp salt
    • 2 tsp sour cream
    • 1 tbsp rum or bourbon

    Egg Wash

    • 1 egg yolk
    • 2 tbsp heavy cream
    • 1/8 cup granulated sugar

    Instructions

    • Make our buttery pie crust and divide it in half. One will be for the bottom and one for the top of the pie.
    • Roll out 1/2 of the pie crust on parchment paper.
    • Add the crust to a deep-dish pie pan. It's okay to have an overhang of dough as you'll be creating a top to the pie later.
    • Refrigerate the crust until you're ready to add the apples.
    • Peel and core 6 apples.
    • Slice them VERY thinly so they can become tender when baking.
    • Add all of the apple pie filling ingredients into a mixing bowl.
    • Using a spatula, fold the apples and the ingredients together until the apples are coated.
    • Add the apples evenly into the pie crust.
    • Next, roll out the other half of the pie crust. Then using a knife cut 2" strips to make a lattice top. You can also do a twist or use pie crust cutouts.
    • Add the dough to the top of the apples, weaving them together to make the top.
    • Remove the extra dough and pinch together a crust. It does not need to be perfect!
    • Whisk the egg yolk and cream together and brush all over the pie crust.
    • Sprinkle sugar over the top.
    • Cook the pie in a preheated 400-degree oven on the third rack to the bottom
    • Bake the pie for 45 minutes until the top is golden brown.

    • Then, cover it with foil (so it doesn't burn) and bake for another 20 minutes.
    • Continue checking to make sure the pie is not burning on the top. It's okay to have the edges very dark brown, it looks pretty that way!
    • Let the pie sit for 3 to 4 hours while it thickens.
    • Serve with vanilla ice cream.
