4 large firm-tart apples (about 2 lbs.) peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon, plus 1 cup flour
2 tablespoons, plus 1 cup granulate sugar
10 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9- or 10-inch pie plate and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl toss the apple slices with the cinnamon, 1 tablespoon flour, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Stir to coat and arrange evenly in the pie pan (don’t worry if it looks quite full).
3. Using a mixer, combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, the butter and the egg. Mix until well combined and smooth over the top of the apples with a rubber spatula.
4. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
