Ingredients for #comment 88419

Gather these items:

8 cups peeled apples, sliced ¼-inch thick (6-8 apples, 3.5 pounds)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup to ½ cup granulated sugar (amount depending on how sweet you want your pie)
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter (16 tablespoons, cut into small cubes)
7 tablespoons ice-cold water
1 tablespoon milk
coarse turbinado sugar (optional)

How to Make #comment 88419 Step-by-Step

Step 1: Place the peeled, sliced apples in a large bowl.
Step 2: Add the vanilla, ¼ cup flour, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the bowl with the apples. Sprinkle the cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over the apples. Stir to combine. Set aside while you make the pie crust.
Step 3: Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Alternatively, the pie crust dough can be made by hand in a large bowl using a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut in the butter.
Step 4: Pulse to combine the dry ingredients. Add the cold butter cubes and pulse about 10 times, until the largest butter pieces are the size of small peas.
Step 5: Add the ice-cold water and pulse just until the dough comes together.
Step 6: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and form it into a ball. Cut the ball in half and shape each half into a round disk. Wrap one of the disks in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
Step 7: On a lightly floured work surface, roll the second disk out to a 12-inch round and transfer it to a deep-dish pie pan. Loosely fit the dough into the shape of the pie dish, but do not press it down firmly.
Step 8: By this time, the apples should have released some of their juices. Stir the apple mixture to make sure everything is well combined and then pour the apples and their juices into the pie crust.
Step 9: Roll out the second pie dough disk to a 12-inch round. You can place the dough round on top of the pie as is, or you can make a lattice-top pie crust.
Step 10: To make a lattice top pie crust: Cut the second dough round into ½-inch strips. Place the longest strip down the center of the pie. Lay strips across the pie with just a little bit of space between. Then weave in strips going the opposite direction on the pie.
Step 11: Trim the edges of the pie crust so that there is a ½-inch overhang over the edge of the pie dish. Fold the overhang under itself and flute/crimp the edges of the crust as desired.
Step 12: Brush the pie crust with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
Step 13: Refrigerate pie for 30 minutes before baking.
Step 14: Preheat oven to 400° F with a rack in the lower third of the oven.
Step 15: Bake the pie at 400° for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350° F. Continue baking the pie for 40-50 minutes more, until the filling is bubbly.
Step 16: Check on the pie partway through the baking time and tent it with foil as needed to prevent the crust from over-browning.
Step 17: Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to thicken.
Step 18: Store pie at room temperature for up to one day, or in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 4-5 days. Pie can also be frozen, wrapped tightly, for up to 3 months.
