  • tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup ice water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • tsp cinnamon
  • 6 apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Mix flour, salt, and butter in large bowl, working butter into flour until crumbly. Add water and combine until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate for one hour. Divide dough in half. Roll into two rounds. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine sugar and cinnamon in bowl. Add apples. Toss, coating well. Place half of apple mixture on center of each crust. Fold ½ inch of crust edge toward center of round, pinching slightly so crust rests flat on apples. Whisk together egg and water.
