Step 1
Make the dough:
Step 2
Process flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor for a few seconds until combined.
Step 3
Add butter and pulse until mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse meal, about 15 pulses.
Step 4
Add ¼ cup water and keep pulsing, adding more water as needed, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough isn’t dry and starts to clump together.
Step 5
Do not process to the point that a large ball of dough is formed, rather the dough should be quite crumbly with large clumps.
Step 6
Turn the dough to a floured surface and form into a ball.
Step 7
Divide ball in half, then flatten each half slightly with your hands to form a thick disc.
Step 8
Wrap each disc with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
Step 9
Make the filling:
Step 10
In a large bowl, toss together apples and lemon juice.
Step 11
Add all other ingredients and mix to combine.
Step 12
Set aside.
Step 13
Assemble the pies:
Step 14
Preheat oven to 425F/220C.
Step 15
Roll out the dough: Working with one disc at a time, take dough out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter for a few minutes to soften slightly for easy rolling.
Step 16
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
Step 17
Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out as many circles as you can.
Step 18
Reroll the scraps of dough and repeat.
Step 19
Transfer half of the circles to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the edges with egg wash.
Step 20
Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle, leaving a border around the filling.
Step 21
Place the remaining circles on top to form a pie.
Step 22
Using a fork, crimp around the edges to seal.
Step 23
Cut a small x-shaped slit in the center of each pie center to let steam escape while baking.
Step 24
Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
Step 25
Bake until golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 15 minutes.
Step 26
Let cool on baking sheet for 15 minutes, then transfer pies to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
Step 27
Store pies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Step 28
Serve warm or at room temperature.
