List of Ingredients
5 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
1/2 teaspoon sugar Recipe
1. To make the filling: In a large bowl, toss the apple wedges with apple juice. Heat 3 tablespoons butter in very large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the apples and 1/3-cup brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are barely tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a roasting pan. Repeat with the remaining butter, apples, and brown sugar. Cool completely. Mix in the flour, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves.
2. Place a baking sheet or baking stone in the oven and preheat oven to 375°F. (This gives the pie a flat surface to bake on, and promotes a crisp bottom crust.) On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the larger portion of dough into a 1/8-inch thick circle. Fit into 9-inch pie pan, trimming overhang to 1-inch beyond edge of pan. Fill the crust with the cooled apple mixture. Roll out the remaining dough into a 1/8-inch thick circle. Fit over apple mixture to cover. Press the edges of the dough together and flute. Cut a small hole in center of pie. Brush the top of pie lightly with the cream and sprinkle with the sugar.
3. Bake on baking sheet until the piecrust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the hole, about 1-1/4 hours. Cool until warm. Serve warm or cooled to room temperature.
