Instructions
Pie Crust
In a mixing bowl, combine salt and flour together. Using the flat beater, cut in butter until combined and mixture looks like crumbs.
Set dial to 1 and slowly add in vinegar and ice cold water. Once the dough forms together. Remove and tightly wrap in saran wrap. Freeze for 15 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour.
Filling
Toss together sliced and peeled apples with white sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into a large bowl. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
Strain the filling mixture by having a bowl underneath to catch the filling mixture.
Using a sauce pan, heat up the strained filling mixture on low heat until slightly thickened. Should resemble melted caramel. Once thickened, remove from heat and allow the mixture to come to room temperature. Should have decreased by half in volume.
Assembly
Preheat oven to 375 F Convect. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Divide into 2 portions with 1 portion slightly bigger than the other.
Roll out the smaller dough portion on a dusted surface with flour to fit a 9" pie plate. Place the crust into the pie place. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and the sides of the pie plate. Leave about 1 cm leftover border around the pie.
Spread your strained apples evenly onto the pie plate. Add in your thickened apple filling sauce. Crumble on top 1/4 cup butter. Cover with a lattice work crust.
In a small bowl mixture together egg and cream / milk. Gently brush on top of the lattice crust.
Bake at 375F convect for 15 minutes. Reduce to 350F convect and cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft. Let it cool for 10 minutes prior to serving with some vanilla ice cream!
