Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 to 4 tablespoons ice water
• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to form.
3. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon flour. Set aside.
5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 9-inch circle. Place the dough in a 6-inch pie dish.
6. Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture. Trim and crimp the edges of the dough as desired.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
8. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
