Apple & Ginger Pie with Walnut Pastry Recipe

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, grated ginger, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour and chopped walnuts. Add the diced butter and use your fingers to rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add the ice-cold water to the flour mixture, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit the pie dish. Trim the edges and crimp them using your fingers or a fork.

Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, spreading it evenly.

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
