Tommaso’s Sinful Delights

Dough
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
14 tablespoons cold butter, diced
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons cold water

Filling
6 cups apples, peeled and sliced
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 TBSP butter
2 TBSP milk
1 tsp raw sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a food processor, pulse the flour, sugar and salt until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles a coarse meal. Add the egg and pulse 2 times. (If the dough is very dry add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.) Remove the dough and form into a disk.  Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour. 

Divide dough in half.  Roll out the crust.  Place bottom crust in a deep pie dish. 

Mix apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a bowl.  Pour on top of bottom crust in the pie dish.  Dot apples with butter.  Place the top layer of the crust, letting it overhang.  Pinch the crust together and seal with a fork.  Poke holes in the top of the crust with a sharp knife to release steam.  Brush the top of the crust with milk and sprinkle raw sugar on top.  Place in oven and bake for 40 minutes.

Let pie cool completely before slicing.
