Step 1
Mix flour, 2 tbsp sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Rub cold butter in with your fingers until breadcrumb texture.
Step 2
Press two-thirds of the dough into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, covering the bottom and sides. Chill while you prep apples.
Step 3
Toss sliced apples with cinnamon, lemon zest, and remaining 2 tbsp sugar. Layer over the crust, mounding slightly in the center.
Step 4
Roll remaining dough thin between parchment sheets. Cut into thin strips and lay in a lattice over the apples.
Step 5
Brush lattice with egg yolk. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes until golden brown and apples are tender.
Step 6
Warm jam with 1 tsp water, brush over hot pie. Cool 2 minutes, serve warm with a whole apple on the side if desired.
