Ingredients

  • Crust
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup stone-ground whole-wheat flour
  • 3 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons trans fat-free vegetable shortening
  • 3 tablespoons apple juice
  • Filling
  • 3 cups sliced peeled Golden Delicious apples, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, diced
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 3 tablespoons coarse sugar

Method

  • For crust: Combine first 4 ingredients; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add apple juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing until dough is moist and begins to stick together. Cover in plastic wrap; chill 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • For filling: Toss apples with lemon juice. Whisk together next 4 ingredients; pour over apples, tossing until well-combined.
  • Unwrap dough; place on parchment paper. Roll into a 15-inch circle. Place dough and parchment on rimmed baking sheet; arrange apples in center, leaving 2-inch border. Fold edges in; press gently to seal. Dot apples with butter.
  • Whisk egg white and water. Brush dough with egg wash; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Loosely cover with foil; bake 25-30 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes or until tender and golden.
  • Let stand 20 minutes. Cut into 8 wedges; serve.
