Instructions

  1. Pie crust: In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and use your hands to break apart the butter until a crumbly sandlike texture is formed. Add the cold water, and form the dough into a rough ball shape. Use a knife to split the dough in half, and form each dough section into a burger patty shape and size, and place them on a plate in the fridge.
  2. Start your oven: Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  3. Pie filling: In a separate bowl, combine and mix all the pie-filling ingredients and set it aside while you finish making the crust.
  4. Roll the dough: Sprinkle flour over a flat kitchen surface and place one of the dough patties on it. Sprinkle a little more flour over the dough and the rolling pin. Roll the dough out into a circle thats about 14-15 inches and about a ¼ inch thick. Gently fold the dough in four quarters without pressing/sealing it, and transfer it to your ungreased pie dish. If there are any holes, pull off some access dough and fill in the gaps! Pour the pie filling into the pie dish.
  5. Bake: Repeat step 4 for rolling out the final dough patty and lay it over the top of the pie, pinching the edges and poking holes or cutting a few slits into the top of the pie so it can breathe while it bakes. Brush the dough with the egg and bake the pie uncovered on the middle rack for 30-40 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
