Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup butter
- ¼ cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk 2 cups flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or a fork until crumbly.
- Whisk water, eggs, and lemon juice together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until dough forms a ball. Split dough into halves; roll each half into about a 9×13-inch rectangle. Press 1 rectangle into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place apple slices in a large bowl; add sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon. Toss apples to coat; spread over crust. Cover apple filling with remaining crust, piecing together any scraps to cover any holes. Cut several slits into top crust for ventilation while cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are browned and crisp, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool to room temperature before cutting into squares, about 30 minutes.
