🥧 Rustic Cinnamon Apple Pie with Flaky Butter Crust

This is the kind of pie that smells like fall and tastes like home: a golden, buttery crust filled with warm cinnamon apples, bubbling and just slightly messy in the best way. Serve with vanilla ice cream and you’ve got dessert perfection.

For the crust:
• 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
