Ingredients

For the crust:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 cup cold salted butter
• 1/2 cup ice cold water

For the filling:

• 10 granny smith apples
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup real maple syrup
• Juice 1/2 lemon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup butter

Instructions

For crust:

1. Mix flour, salt, cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl. Add cubed cold butter and use a pastry cutter, fork or food processor to break down the butter into pea-sized chunks. Add cold water and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
2. Pour out dough on a work surface and form into 2 equal disks.
3. Cover disks with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

For filling:

1. Peel and slice apples. Add all ingredients (except the butter) into a large bowl and mix until incorporated.
2. Place a large pan on the stove on medium heat. Add butter to melt. Add in apple filling sauté for 25-30 minutes until the apples still have texture but are relatively soft and have a caramel sauce coating. Add mixture back into the bowl to cool.

To assemble pie:

1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
2. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a pie plate. Add filling into the pie.
3. Roll out the second dough and cut into strips if making a lattice. Make the pattern and transfer onto the pie. Secure the edges with entire pie with egg wash and add a sprinkle of sugar on top.
4. Bake pie for 10 minutes at 425 F, then change the heat to 350 F while keeping the oven door closed. Bake the pie for another 45 minutes or until desired colour.
5. Let pie cool for about 30 minutes before slicing and enjoying :)
