1
For the crust: Blend the flour and salt in a large bowl
2
Grate in half of the butter using a cheese grater, and then toss together with 2 forks so the butter coats the flour
3
Repeat with the remaining butter
4
Sprinkle half of the ice water over and stir with a fork
5
Press the dough together using your hands and set to the side any parts that form a ball
6
Repeat, adding the remaining water to the dry sections of the butter and flour mixture
7
Add just enough water so that the dough comes together when pressed firmly
8
Form the dough into a ball
9
Flatten into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap
10
Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes
11
Dust a work surface, the dough and a rolling pin lightly with flour
12
Begin rolling and take care to release the dough from the surface a few times by picking it up and turning it over, applying a light dust of flour each time
13
Roll the dough to 1/8-inch thick
14
Place into a pie dish and fold the edges under to create the edge of the crust
15
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
16
For the filling: Combine the sugar, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt
17
Toss in the apples to coat
18
Melt the butter with the ginger juice and 2 tablespoons water in a pot
19
Add the coated apples and simmer until the apples soften, taking care not to let the sugars burn, 5 minutes
20
Fill the pie shell with the apples
21
Bake for 40 minutes
22
For the crumble: While the pie is baking, combine the sugar, flour, 1/4 cup of the oats, the cardamom, cinnamon and salt in a food processor
23
Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly and not dry
24
Transfer to a bowl and stir in the remaining oats
25
Remove the pie from the oven
26
Turn the temperature down to 350 degrees F
27
Sprinkle the topping over the pie, and then continue baking until the crumble browns and crisps, about 10 minutes
28
The longer the pie cools, the easier it will be to slice
