Instructions

Step 1:

Make the filling. Add all filling ingredients in a bowl and toss until well combined.

Step 2:

Make the streusel topping. Add all ingredients in a bowl. Mix and fluff until combined and broken down into pea-sized pebbles.

Step 3:

Make the crust. To a food processor, add flour, sugar, salt, and grated frozen butter. Pulse about 4 to 5 times until they are combined into a coarse texture. Pour in half of the water, then pulse while pouring the other half. It should be pebbly at this point but still holds together when squeezed.

Step 4:

Transfer the dough into a bowl and press them together. Cover the dough with a plastic wrap that forms into a rectangle, leaving room on all sides. Pound and roll the dough into a flat rectangular shape of the wrap. Place in the fridge for about an hour.

Step 5:

Take the dough  from the fridge, and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Unwrap it and place it on a floured surface. Roll it onto a large rectangle about 15 inches by 20 inches. Roll it onto the rolling pin and unroll onto a well buttered half-sheet tray. Press the corners and crimp the edges.

Step 6:

Using a fork, dock the bottom of the crust, then add apples and all of the juices in the bowl. Spread them evenly then top with the streusel.

Step 7:

Bake it in a 375F preheated oven on top of a pizza stone or steel for about 45 to 50 minutes.
