To make the crust: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour and vanilla bean. Turn the mixer on low for two to three rotations to combine the dry ingredients.
Remove the butter from the fridge and chop into small cubes. The smaller the cubes, the flakier the crust. Cut the stick of butter into four and then chop into small cubes from there. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Measure out the cold water and have it ready.
Turn the mixer on low and slowly start to incorporate the ingredients. Gradually turn the mixer to medium speed. Once the butter mixture looks like wet sand, immediately add in all the water. As soon as the dough comes together, stop the mixer. Do not over mix.
Divide the dough into two portions, one should be almost double the size of the other. I prefer to weigh them, the large one should weigh 312 grams and the small should weigh 170 grams. Form them both into disks and wrap separately in plastic wrap. Allow to cool in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
To make the filling: In a medium bowl, add the cane sugar, flour, cornstarch, and vanilla bean and whisk to combine.
Slice the apples, leaving skins on, and add to the sugar and flour mixture. Toss to coat completely, set aside.
Grease a 9-inch pie pan well with butter. Remove the pie dough from the fridge. Remove the plastic wrap and place on a floured surface. First, roll out the large disk to ¼-inch thick, it should be about 11-inches in diameter. Place the pie dough into the pie pan, and press lightly to form against the pan. It should be large enough that the dough folds right over the top. Roll out the smaller disk to ¼-inch thick, it should be about 9-inches in diameter. Set aside.
Add the filling into the pie pan and spread evenly.
I like to use a pizza cutter for this next step, but a sharp knife will work as well. Cut the rolled out dough into 1-inch wide strips. Place the strips on top of the apples going horizontal leaving 1-inch between strips. Use the smaller strips towards the sides of the pie and use the longer strips for the middle. Next, add the remaining dough strips going vertical, alternating each strip over and under the horizontal ones.
Once the lattice top is complete, crimp and fold over the edges of the dough to seal the top and bottom together. Flute the edges. Using a pastry brush, brush the dough with the French vanilla creamer.
Bake for 1 hour, then turn the oven up to 400°F and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown.
To make the glaze: In a small bowl, add the powdered sugar and water. Whisk to combine completely. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the dough with the glaze.
Let the pie rest for 15 to 20 minutes before glazing. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the dough with the glaze.
Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
