Double Crumble Hot Apple Pie

Ingredients

• 1 sticks (1/2 cup) unsalted butter cut into 1/2 inch pieces and frozen
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus additional for rolling the dough)
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold water*

Cooking Directions

1. Place all ingredients except for water in the large bowl of an electric mixer
2. Using paddle attachment, put mixer on low and mix ingredients until they form a coarse mixture of large crumbs (about the size of a peanut)
3. Add 1/4 cup water and put mixer on low for about a minute, add additional water (1 tablespoon at a time) just until dough is moist enough to hold together
4. When dough is ready, form into two large disks and wrap each in seran wrap; refrigerate dough for at least one hour
5. Once dough has been chilled, you can roll it into a thin layer; flour a large flat surface and place dough on top of that with an additional couple of tablespoons of flour on the dough; roll dough with a rolling pin into a large round layer about 1/4 inch thick**
6. When ready, gently place the dough in a 9-inch pie dish and press down so that the dough is snug; trim any excess dough that comes over the edges
