Yields about 8 slices
Crust Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 tbsp ZSweet®
1 tsp salt
6 oz unsalted butter
6 tbsp cold water
Filling Ingredients
6 cups Granny Smith apples, sliced
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup ZSweet®
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp corn starch
5 spritzes butter spray
To prepare crust:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix together flour, ZSweet®, salt. Using a pastry
blender, cut in butter until mixture becomes crumbly (like cornmeal). Add ice water and mix with fingers until mixture forms a ball. Cover and set aside pastry until well chilled (about 30 mintues). Divide pastry into half and roll out between pieces of wax paper. Fit pastry into a 9” pie pan and bake for approximately 7 mintues. Roll out remaining pastry dough and set aside.
To prepare filling:
Peel and cut apples evenly into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle lemon juice over the apple slices. Mix together ZSweet®, nutmeg, cinnamon, and corn starch, and combine with apple mixture. Pour apple mixture into the pie shell and spritz with butter spray. Use remaining pastry to form a lattice topping or cut a vented top crust. Protect edges of crust with foil to prevent over-browning. Bake approximately 40 minutes until crust is golden brown and apples are to desired softness (juices will bubble).
