  • 3 sticks (12 oz or 340 grams) unsalted butter, cubed and kept very cold
  • ¾ cup very cold water

For the apple filling:

  • 3 ½ to 4 pounds apples, peeled, cored and chopped into approximately ½-inch chunks (about 10 cups)
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • ⅔ to ¾ cup sugar (depending on sweetness preference)
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch

  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground allspice
  • ⅛ tsp table salt

To finish:
