Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • 2 + ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold butter diced
  • ¼ - ½ cup ice water
  • Filling:
  • 5 -6 cups peeled diced apples (about ½-inch)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • dash or two of ground nutmeg
  • Icing:
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons milk
  • rainbow sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

Make the Crust:

  • In a large bowl whisk the flour and salt together.
  • Add half the butter and cut in with a pastry blender or two forks used scissor fashion until small crumbs form.
  • Add the rest of the butter and repeat until small, uniform crumbs form.
  • Add the water, a tablespoon at a time, and toss with a fork to moisten the dough evenly.
  • To test for the right texture, squeeze a chunk of it together, it should stick together easily. If it falls apart add more water.
  • Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and divide in half.
  • Wrap each piece in plastic and refrigerate 20 minutes.

Make the Filling:

  • In a large bowl toss the apples, lemon juice, corn starch, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch or two of salt together.

Roll out the Crust:

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper making sure it goes up the sides and over the edges in case the pie leaks.
  • Flour a large work surface and roll one of the halvesout into a 9 x 12-inch rectangle. Fold it in half then in half again and transfer to the baking sheet. Unfold.
  • Roll the remaining crust out to a 9 x 12-inch rectangle.
  • Top the bottom piece with the apples leaving a 1-inch border - spread them out evenly.
  • Fold the remaining crust up in half then half again and top the pie with it - unfold.
  • Fold the edges of the bottom crust over the top and press together.
  • Go around the border with a fork pressing the crust together again. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bake the pie 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Cool on the baking sheet.

Make the Icing:

  • Whisk the confectioners' sugar with 1 tablespoon milk at a time to make a thick icing. Slather over the top and garnish with sprinkles.
  • Cut into squares to serve. Refrigerate leftovers.
