Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp table salt
  • 3 sticks unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces (12 oz or 340 g)
  • ¾ cup very cold water
  • 3 to 4 lbs apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into ½-inch pieces (about 10 cups)
  • q.s. lemon juice squeeze
  • ⅔ to ¾ cup sugar (adjust based on apple sweetness)
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground allspice
  • ⅛ tsp table salt
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream OR 1 beaten egg mixed with water

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Pastry cutter or two forks
  • Rolling pin
  • 9x13-inch metal baking pan
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, and salt for the dough.
  2. Scatter the cold butter pieces over the flour and use a pastry cutter to work through until coarse crumbs form.
  3. Slowly drizzle in the ice-cold water, mixing gently until the dough clumps together.
  4. Divide the dough into two disks, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  5. Toss apple chunks with lemon juice in a bowl to prevent browning.
  6. In another bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt; sprinkle over apples and mix to coat.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Roll out one dough disk into a rectangle larger than a 9x13-inch pan and place it in the pan.
  9. Pour the apple mixture into the pan and spread it evenly.
  10. Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the apples, crimping the edges together.
  11. Cut 4-5 small slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
  12. Brush the top crust with heavy cream or an egg wash.
  13. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until golden brown and juices bubble through the slits.
  14. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
