Apple Pie

This classic American dessert is a delicious way to use apples. To make an apple pie, you will need:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup ice water
• 6 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup cold water

To make the pie crust, combine the flour, salt, and butter in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll out the dough and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges and crimp them. Fill the pie with the apple slices, then sprinkle with the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Pour the mixture over the apples.

Cover the pie with a top crust and crimp the edges. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.
