Equipment

  • Potato peeler
  • 9" deep dish pie pan
  • Large bowl
  • Food processor
  • Lined sheet pan
  • Pizza Cutter
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 short crust pastry dough
  • 3 pounds apples
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger

Instructions
 

Make the filling

  • While the dough is chilling, peel, core, and slice the apples.
  • In a large bowl combine the sugars, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom. Add the apples and toss to coat evenly.

Assembly and baking

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F or gas mark 6.
  • Roll one of the balls of dough large enough to fit the pie pan with about ¾ of an inch hanging over the side. Be sure to make sure that the dough is not stretched when placing it in the pan.
  • Remove the apples and place in another bowl and toss them in the cornstarch. Pour the apples into the pie pan and pack tightly.
  • Roll the other ball of dough large enough to cover the top with a ¾ inch hanging over the side. Pinch closed and trim the excess dough. Using a sharp knife cut at least three holes near the top. If making a lattice use the pizza cutter to slice the the top layer of dough into strips. Alternating the strip directions create a lattice design.
  • Bake for 75 minutes. If the crust starts browning early loosely cover the top of the pie with tented foil. This will slow down the browning.
  • Allow to cool before serving.
