Apple Pie

Servings: 8 persons

Ingredients

  • 1 kg granny smith apple cored, sliced, peeled
  • 150 g sugar
  • 2 tbl flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ lemon
  • 1 egg beaten or some milk
  • 1 tbl sugar

Instructions

  • Peel the apples, then core and slice.
  • In a bowl, add the sliced apples, sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and juice from the lemon.
  • Mix until combined and all apples are coated. Refrigerate.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (200°C).
  • On a floured surface, cut the pie dough in half and roll out both halves until round and about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick.
  • Roll the dough around the rolling pin and unroll onto a pie dish making sure the dough reaches all edges. Trim extra if necessary.
  • Pour in apple filling mixture and pat down.
  • Roll the other half of the dough on top.
  • Trim the extra dough from the edges and pinch the edges to create a crimp. Make sure edges are sealed together.
  • Brush the pie with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sugar.
  • Cut four slits in the top of the pie to create a vent.
  • Bake pie for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and no greyish or undercooked pastry remains.
  • Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

tastes even better if you've scrumped the apples!
