Rustic Apple Streusel Pie

Be sure to slice the apples thin so that they cook in the amount of time needed to bake the crust — this isn’t a chunky filling.

Ingredients

• ½ recipe Tender Pie Dough
• 4 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and trimmed
• ⅔ cup superfine sugar
• 3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out the dough
• 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup, preferably Grade B
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 large egg, well beaten with a hand blender

Preparation

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. To make the filling, gently toss the apples, sugar, flour, maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla in a medium bowl until well combined.
3. Lightly flour a work surface. Unwrap the dough and rap the entire circumference around its edge on the work surface. Dust the top of the dough with flour. Roll out into a 15-inch round. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan, centering it in the pan, and let the excess dough hang over the sides. Heap the apples in the crust, mounding them high in the center. Bring up the edges of the dough, pleating the dough as needed around the circumference of the dish — the center of the filling will be visible. Brush the exposed crust with the egg. Place the streusel over the exposed filling to cover it, then sprinkle any remaining streusel over the crust.
4. Place the pie on the half-sheet pan. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and any juices that escape are thick, about 1 hour. If the crust is browning too quickly, tent it with parchment paper. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.
