Ingredients:
Crust:
1 1/4 cups all flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons (about) ice water
Filling:
3 Large apples, cut into thin slices (a firm tart apple works best)
6 tablespoons sugar
pinch of nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
*Mix the flour, sugar, and salt together.
*Add butter. Turn on your mixer for this one because its a pain in the butt with the butter being cold. It took a long time for me to get it mixed.
*Add the water and mix it well. If its really dry you you can add a little bit more water.
*Take the dough and put it into a ball (yes, all of the dough into one ball).
*Flatten the dough into a disk shape.
*Wrap the disk in saran wrap and put it into the fridge for one hour (at least). I forgot about it and it was in there for about 3 hours.
*Pre-heat oven to 400*F.
*Mix your apples, 4 Tbsp sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a bowl.
*Put some flour on your counter, then put your dough disk onto the counter.
*Roll out your dough to about a 12 inch round piece. Mine wasn't a perfect circle, so don't worry if yours isn't either! Just try and get it as close as you can!
*Spray a baking sheet with baking spray.
*Transfer your dough onto the sheet (pain in the butt, I know, sorry).
*Mix 1 Tbsp sugar and 1 Tbsp flour in a small bowl. Put this mixture onto the middle of your dough leaving a two inch border around the edge.
*Take your apples, and arrange them in 3-4 rows, leaving a two inch border all the way around the outside of the dough.
*Drizzle the melted butter over the apples.
*Fold the edges of the dough all the way up so that it covers the sides of the apples.
*Sprinkle a bit of sugar onto the side of the dough edge.
*Put "pie" into oven for 45 minutes. It took me closer to one hour to cook but start checking that it doesn't burn about 45 minutes into the cooking.
*The pie is done once the apples are tender, and the crust is golden.
