Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)
Step 2
Sift 2 cups four, white sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in egg yolks (mixture will be crumbly). Remove 1/4 mixture, and set aside. Press remainder onto bottom and sides an 8-inch tart or pie pan.
Step 3
Combine apples, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Add apples to crust. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture evenly over top.
Step 4
Place pie on a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until top is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
