Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 6 tablespoons Cold water
• 6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 0.75 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 unit Egg, beaten (for crust wash)
• 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the chilled, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, combine the sliced Granny Smith apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons of flour. Toss well to evenly coat the apples.

Step 5

Roll out one portion of the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the rolled dough to the pie dish and press gently to fit.

Step 6

Evenly spread half of the apple mixture into the crust-lined dish. Pour the heavy cream over the apples, followed by the vanilla extract. Add the remaining apple mixture on top.

Step 7

Roll out the second portion of dough and carefully lay it over the apples. Trim and seal the edges, crimping them decoratively. Cut slits into the top crust to vent steam.

Step 8

Brush the top crust lightly with the beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Check halfway through baking and cover the edges with foil if they are browning too quickly.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving. The filling will set as it cools.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your Tender Texas Apple Cream Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
