Apple Shortbread Pie

A delicious and comforting pie filled with sweet, spiced apples nestled in a buttery shortbread crust.

Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour (2 cups)
  • white sugar (0.5 cup)
  • salt (0.25 teaspoon)
  • chilled unsalted butter (0.75 cup)
  • egg yolks (2 )
  • Golden Delicious apples (1.25 pounds)
  • light brown sugar (0.25 cup)
  • ground cinnamon (0.5 teaspoon)
  • ground nutmeg (0.5 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Sift 2 cups flour, white sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in egg yolks (mixture will be crumbly). Remove 1/4 of mixture, and set aside. Press remainder onto bottom and sides of an 8-inch tart or pie pan.
  3. Combine apples, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Add apples to crust. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture evenly over top.
  4. Place pie on a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until top is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
