Honey-Sweetened Apple Pie with Rye Flour Crust
Shared by: Shannon Nourishing Days
Ingredients
Directions
Prepare pie crust by whisking flour and salt together in a medium-sized bowl. Cut cold butter or lard into small pieces. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut butter into flour-salt mixture until the size of peas. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough barely comes together. Knead a few times, form into a ball, cut in half, and set aside (in a refrigerator if possible).
Prepare filling by adding sliced apples, honey, cinnamon, sea salt, and rye flour to a medium-sized bowl. Mix well to combine.
Now roll out your first pie crust until 1-2 inches larger in diameter than your pie pan. Lay it into the pan and trim the edges. Fill with apple filling. Roll out second pie crust until 1-2" larger than top of pie. Transfer to pie pan and seal edges. Cut a few slits into the top of your pie to allow steam to escape. Prepare an egg wash by whisking one egg and a bit of water. Brush over crust.
Place pie pan on a baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes and then turn heat down to 350 and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes, or until pie is golden brown and cooked through.
