Instructions
- 1Put the spelt flour and salt in a bowl (or food processor). Add cold cubed butter and quickly rub the butter into the flour with your fingers (or use short pulses in the food processor) until you get a texture resembling breadcrumbs. Add the maple syrup and gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough starts to come together. Do not overwork it. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- 2Peel the apples (if you prefer, you can leave them unpeeled for more fiber), remove the cores, and cut into thin slices. In a large bowl, pour over the lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Mix well so that all the apples are evenly coated.
- 3Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Divide the chilled dough into two parts (one slightly larger for the base). Roll out the larger portion on a floured surface and line a greased pie dish with it. Prick the dough with a fork.
- 4Arrange the prepared apples on the dough. Try to pack them tightly so the pie doesn't sink too much during baking.
- 5Roll out the second portion of dough and cut it into strips. Lay them over the apples in a lattice pattern (or simply cover with a whole sheet of dough and cut slits for steam to escape). Press the edges together. If desired, brush with beaten egg for shine.
- 6Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft (check with a toothpick through a slit). If the crust browns too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil.
- 7Let the pie rest for at least 2 hours before slicing. This is essential so the juices thicken and the pie doesn't fall apart when cut.
