In a food processor add the flour, salt and the cubed cold butter and run the processor until flour turns crumbly .
Now remove this into a bowl and by adding chilled water little by little knead this until everything just comes together.
Now wrap this with a cling wrap and chill the dough for an hour in a refrigerator.
Meanwhile prep up the filling by mixing the cubed apple pieces with lemon juice ,flour , salt , cinnamon and sugar .
Once mixed set this aside until use. Now coming back to the crust .Remove the chilled dough and unwrap the film.
Divide the dough into two halves and take one half of the dough on to a floured surface and roll into thick disc enough to fit in a 7 inch pie dish .
Now carefully lift and press the rolled dough into the greased pie dish .
Next add in the apple filling and distribute equally over the pie crust and set aside.
Now roll the other half of the dough and make small holes here and there using a bottle cap or any cutter .These holes allow the steam to escape that is created while baking.
Now lift this carefully and place over the pie. By pinching both the top and the bottom dough together seal the edges.
Later trim of any excess dough falling over from the pie dish.
Next brush the top with milk and bake in a preheated oven at 220°c / 425°f for about 25 to 30 mins or until a golden crust forms at the top .
Now cool this over a wire rack for 10 to 15 mins.Later run a knife slowly along the edges of the pie dish and release the pie from the pan.
Slice and serve warm with icecream or whipped cream .
Bursting Cinnamon flavor , flaky pastry , succulent juicy apples makes this unique and stand out !
