Rustic Apple Streusel Pie
- 1/2 recipe Tender Pie Dough (see recipe)
- 4 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and trimmed
- 23 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
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, well beaten with a hand blender
- Streusel
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350F.
- Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
- To make the filling, gently toss the apples, sugar, flour, maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla in a medium bowl until well combined.
- 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.
- 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.
