To make this mouth-watering Maple Bourbon Apple Pie, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water


For the filling:

- 6 cups thinly sliced apples (about 6 medium apples)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar for the crust. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In another large bowl, mix together the sliced apples, maple syrup, bourbon, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for the filling. Set aside.
Roll out one of the dough disks on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges. Pour the apple filling into the crust and dot with the butter.
Roll out the second dough disk and cut into strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the filling. Trim the edges and crimp to seal. Brush the top with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water) and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
This Maple Bourbon Apple Pie is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors. The crust is flaky and buttery, while the filling is bursting with juicy apples and a hint of bourbon. The maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness that complements the tartness of the apples. This dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
