Dutch Apple Pie
This Dutch apple pie features a sturdy, sweet pastry crust and a warm, spiced apple and raisin filling. The dough comes together quickly in a food processor, then chills before you press it into the pan. A layer of crumbled rusks or breadcrumbs on the bottom helps keep the crust from getting soggy under the juicy apples. Finish it with a classic lattice top and bake until the crust is deep golden.

Make the Dough
Combine the flour, 150 g of the sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor. Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the bowl.
Pulse until a firm dough forms, being careful not to over-process, which can warm the dough too much. You want it to just come together; check if it sticks when pinched between your fingers.

Chill the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Use your hands to form it into a round ball, then wrap it tightly and place it in the fridge for half an hour to cool.
