How To Make Chicago-Style Bakery Apple Slices:
  1. Prepare the Crust: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs and add 5 tablespoons of cold water. Slowly add this egg mixture to the flour and butter, stirring until the dough starts to come together. If needed, add an additional tablespoon of cold water, 1 teaspoon at a time. Divide the dough into two equal portions, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
