03 Method

Step 1

Roll out two disks of pie dough to 12-inch diameters (about 1/8-inch thick). Fit one crust into a 9- or 10-inch pie plate and trim overhang flush with the plate's edge.
Step 2

Keep the second crust flat. Refrigerate both crusts for 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator 5 minutes before filling and baking.
Step 3

In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon apple cider with 2 tablespoons cornstarch, stirring until dissolved. Set aside.
Step 4

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine apple slices, remaining 2 tablespoons apple cider, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, gently stirring occasionally, until apples are soft, but do not lose their shape, about 15 minutes.
Step 5

Stir in cornstarch/apple cider mixture and continue cooking, uncovered, until juices are thick and clear, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Step 6

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F with rack in lower-middle position. Place a baking sheet on the rack.Pour cooled pie filling into the lined pie plate. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chilled, diced butter.
Step 7

For a traditional crust, top pie with second rolled dough round Trim the top layer of dough to a 1/2-inch overhang, tuck under the bottom dough, and crimp or flute as desired to seal. Cut 3-5 slits in the center of the filled pie to vent. If desired, decorate with seasonal crust cutouts.
Step 8

Lightly brush the top of the pie with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated or turbinado sugar.
Step 9

Place on preheated baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F and continue baking until the filling is bubbling and the crust is deep golden brown, about 30-40 minutes longer.
Step 10

Let pie cool on a wire rack to room temperature, at least 3 hours. Slice and serve.
