Classic American Apple Pie with Butter Pastry

Peel, core, and slice 100 gr Apple into 3 mm thin wedges.

In a bowl, toss the sliced apple with 3 ³/₄ tsp Brown Sugar, ¹/₂ tsp Ground Cinnamon, 1 tsp Corn starch, ¹/₄ tbsp Lemon Juice, and 2 ml Vanilla Extract until evenly coated.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 50 gr Flour, 5 tsp Powdered Sugar, and ¹/₄ tsp Table salt, then rub in 27 gr Butter with your fingertips until fine crumbs form.

Add ¹/₂ piece Eggs size M and 10 ml Water to the dry crumb mixture, knead briefly just until a cohesive dough forms, divide into two unequal portions, and chill for 15 minutes.

Roll out the larger portion of chilled dough to a thickness of 3 mm and press it gently to line the bottom and sides of a pie baking dish.

Transfer the spiced apple filling into the pastry base and dot 3 gr Butter in small flakes evenly over the top.

Roll out the remaining dough, slice into thin strips, weave them into a lattice over the apples, and crimp the edges securely to seal.

Whisk ¹/₄ piece Eggs size M with 5 ml Milk, brush generously over the lattice crust, and bake at 190°C (375°F) for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and crisp.
