Ingredients for Apple Pie:

Apple Pie

 

For the dough:

  • 2½ cups of flour

  • 1 teaspoon of salt

  • 7 tablespoons of butter (about 1 cup), softened

  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup of sugar

  • Cold water as needed

  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla powder

  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder or active dry yeast

  • 2 eggs

  • Zest of 1 lemon

For the filling:

  • 5 apples, peeled and sliced

  • 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

  • 2 tablespoons of sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg

How to Prepare Apple Pie:

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    In a mixing bowl or electric mixer, beat the eggs, lemon zest, sugar, and vanilla powder until combined.
    Gradually add the sifted flour and softened butter. Mix well until the dough takes on a crumbly, sandy texture.
    Slowly add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and becomes cohesive.
    Cover the dough and place it in the fridge to rest for 15 minutes.

  2. Prepare the Filling:
    In a pan over low heat, place the peeled, sliced apples. Add sugar and a bit of butter.
    Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the apples soften slightly, resembling a jam-like texture.
    Add cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg, stir well, and set the filling aside to cool.

  3. Assemble the Pie:
    Remove the dough from the fridge and knead it lightly.
    Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll them out using a rolling pin.
    Grease a baking dish with a bit of butter and place one rolled dough sheet on the bottom.
    Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough.
    Cover with the second rolled-out dough sheet and seal the edges firmly.
    Use a knife or fork to poke small holes in the top to allow steam to escape during baking.

  4. Bake the Pie:
    Place the pie in a preheated oven at 180°C (about 350°F). Bake until golden brown and fully cooked.

  5. Cool and Serve:
    Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool before cutting into medium-sized slices.
    Serve as a warm dessert, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
