Preparation
- In a food processor, pulse together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until combined. Gradually add cold, diced unsalted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly mix in vodka (or water/bourbon) until a shaggy dough forms. Divide the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 2 hours.
- While the crust chills, peel, core, and dice your selected apples. Toss the apples with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to draw out the juices, then sprinkle in cornstarch and stir to combine.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the seasoned apple mixture and cook for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and allow the apple filling to cool completely.
- Roll out one disk of chilled dough on a floured surface for your pie pan. Transfer into the pan with edges hanging over. Roll out the second disk and cut into strips for the lattice top.
- Pour the cooled apple filling into the crust, arrange the lattice strips over it, and pinch the edges to seal.
- Brush the lattice with an egg wash and sprinkle turbinado sugar on top.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the assembled pie on a baking sheet for 20 minutes. Lower temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 45 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
