  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons ice water
  • Filling
  • 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup sugar (depends on tartness of apples and personal preference)
  • nutmeg (a pinch)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 -6 cups peeled cored diced apples (Granny Smith)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Topping
  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 425°; lightly grease a 13x9 inch pan.
  2. 2
    Crust: in a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt; using a pastry blender, cut in the butter.
  3. 3
    Drizzle the beaten egg over the mixture; toss lightly to combine.
  4. 4
    Add the ice water 1 tablespoons at a time, stirring gently until the dough starts to clump together; grab a fistful; if it sticks together easily, you have added enough water.
  5. 5
    Roll the dough into a generous rectangle to fit your pan.
  6. 6
    Place the dough in the pan; prick it all over with a fork; bake it for 10-12 minutes, until it is set and barely starting to harden.
  7. 7
    Filling: in a bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, spices, and salt together; add in the apples, tossing to coat.
  8. 8
    Stir in the vanilla, then the cream; spread the filling over the crust.
  9. 9
    Topping: in a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  10. 10
    In another bowl, combine the melted butter and extracts; pout over the flour mixture.
  11. 11
    Stir until the butter is absorbed and the mixture forms fairly even crumbs; sprinkle over the filling.
  12. 12
    Bake for 15 minutes; decrease temperature to 350°; bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is brown and the filling is bubbly.
  13. 13
    Remove from oven and cool on a rack; let them cool to lukewarm before cutting.
