Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 medium fresh apples, thinly sliced (preferably Granny Smith)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Ice water as needed

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water until dough forms. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Toss sliced apples with brown sugar, lemon juice, and sage in a bowl and let sit.
  3. Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches wide. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Add Filling: Spoon apple mixture onto the center of the dough circle, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over filling.
  5. Brush and Bake: Whisk egg with water; brush over folded edges. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow to cool slightly before slicing; serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
