8 servings
For the crust
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - 6–8 tbsp ice water
For the filling
- 3 lbs (about 6–7 medium) apples, peeled, cored, and sliced ¼-inch thick
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small piecesChef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
For finishing
- 2 tbsp milk
Chef's tipUse plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's the most reliable milk swap and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods; for hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling. - 1 tbsp coarse sugar or granulated sugarChef's tipSimilar coarse sparkle - swap 1:1.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and work them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.

Drizzle in the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork after each addition, until the dough just comes together when pressed — it should hold without being sticky or wet. You may need anywhere from 6 to 8 tablespoons. Divide the dough into two equal discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
