Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Mix flour, baking powder, and half of the sugar. Then, add the oil to the dry ingredients. Use a fork or pastry blender until the ingredients resemble pea-size clumps. Add cold water and form а soft dough. Form a ball and refrigerate the dough for about an hour.
Slice the apples into 1/8-inch slices. Add them to a medium bowl and toss them with lemon juice. Then, add the remaining sugar and cinnamon and toss to coat.
Roll the dough into a circle on your baking sheet. Arrange apples in the center of the circle, and fold the edges over the apples.
Optional step: Create an egg wash (one egg white plus one tbsp water, beaten with a fork) and brush over the edges of the crust. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Serve with your desired topping, and enjoy!
