INSTRUCTIONS
Crust:
- Mix flour, sugar, and salt until well combined
- With a food processor, begin pulsing together all ingredients (except water) in 3 second increments and gradually adding the ice-cold water, one Tablespoon at a time, just until it resembles coarse crumbs but hold together when squeezed.
- Keeping everything as cold as possible and not over working your dough with your hands, form 2 disks and wrap them tightly with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 3 days
- Flour a work surface and roll half of your dough with a rolling pin to 1/6 " thickness and into a 11–12-inch circle
- Gently, roll your dough into your floured rolling pin and transfer intoyour pie plate, unfolding into the center, until plate is completely covered. Trim the excess dough from the sides of your plate. Refrigerate while preparing your pie filling and lattice
Filling:
- Pre-heat your oven to 375º F
- Mix sugar, salt, and breadcrumbs until well-combined. Add mixture to your apple slices together with vanilla extract, bourbon and fruit spread; mix until apples are well covered. Refrigerate while doing the lattice.
- Roll your remaining dough and use a pizza cutter to cut even strips for the lattice, as well as cookie cutters for the leaves
- Spoon your filling into your crust covered pie plate with a slotted spoon, to drain the excess liquid
- Moisten the edges of your bottom crust with egg wash and start making your lattice using your strips and leaves. Cut the excess dough from the sides of your plate and brush your lattice with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
- Place pie in a foil-covered baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven. Bake for 30 minutes; if it's browning too fast, cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool over a wire rack for 2-3 hours and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!

• You may freeze the dough for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge for 24 hours and let it warm to room temperature for 10-20 min prior to using.
