How to Make Whole Grain Apple Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry pastry ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry crumble ingredients: 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes.
  4. For the pastry, add 6 tablespoons ice water to the dry pastry ingredients, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Lightly flour a 9-inch pie plate. Roll out the chilled dough and gently press it into the pie plate, trimming the edges.
  7. For the crumble, cut the 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter into the dry crumble ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  8. In a large bowl, gently toss together 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced), 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped), 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, and 1/2 cup brown sugar.
  9. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  10. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  12. Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
