Ingredients

• 300 g All-purpose flour
• 225 g Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 6 tbsp Ice water
• 6 medium Golden apples (peeled, cored, sliced)
• 100 g Brown sugar
• 2 tsp Cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp Nutmeg
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tbsp Milk
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Dark rum
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 50 g Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the sliced golden apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss well and set aside.

Step 5

Roll out one disc of chilled dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8-inch thick and large enough to fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish and trim any excess hanging over the edges.

Step 6

Fill the pie crust with the prepared apple mixture, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the apples. Trim, seal, and crimp the edges as desired. Cut a few slits on top to allow steam to escape.

Step 8

Whisk the egg and milk together to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow the pie to cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 10

To make the rum sauce, combine the heavy cream, dark rum, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 11

Serve slices of the warm apple pie drizzled with the rum sauce. Enjoy!
