Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Ice water
• 5 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt for the crust. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch tart or pie pan.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your tart or pie pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess dough.

Step 6

Arrange the spiced apple slices evenly over the crust, making sure to distribute them in a decorative or even layer.

Step 7

Optional: Use any leftover dough trimmings to create a lattice or decorative design to place on top of the apples.

Step 8

Brush the edges of the crust (and any decorative dough) with the beaten egg to ensure golden browning during baking.

Step 9

Bake the apple torte in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

Remove the torte from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes before slicing. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.
