Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6–8 tablespoons ice water
  • 5 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (Granny Smith and Honeycrisp recommended)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually stir in ice water, just enough for the dough to come together. Divide dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  3. In another bowl, toss sliced apples with brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter for the toffee sauce. Stir in brown sugar and heavy cream. Simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and salt. Cool slightly.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disk to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, pressing gently. Trim excess dough.
  6. Add apple mixture to the crust, then pour cooled toffee sauce evenly over the apples.
  7. Roll out the second dough disk to a 12-inch circle. Lay over the filling, trim and crimp edges. Cut 4-5 small slits in the top for steam.
  8. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
  9. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45-55 minutes, until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  10. Cool on a rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold for a flakier crust. Let the pie cool fully before slicing for clean pieces. For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, use appropriate flour and butter substitutes. Add nuts or extra spices for variation. Pie tastes even better the next day as flavors meld.
