Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
• 0.25 cup Ice water
• 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cup Cinnamon candy (such as Red Hots)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Drizzle in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 7

Add the cinnamon candy, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), cornstarch, and vanilla extract to the apples. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, letting the excess hang over the edges.

Step 9

Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, piling it slightly in the center.

Step 10

Roll out the second portion of dough into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the apples, trimming the excess crust to leave about a 1-inch overhang. Tuck the edges of the top crust under the bottom crust, and crimp to seal.

Step 11

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 12

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Step 13

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 14

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
