Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Cold water
• 6 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate, roughly chopped
• 0.75 cup Walnuts, chopped
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 medium Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Cut in the cold unsalted butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with your hands until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cocoa powder. Toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 5

Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface until it is large enough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the bottom and sides.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the bottom crust. Layer the apple mixture on top, and then sprinkle the chopped chocolate over the apples.

Step 7

Drizzle the heavy cream evenly over the filling.

Step 8

Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish.

Step 10

Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
