Hello everybody. Today I would like to show you how you can make a tasty American-style apple pie. You should make the crust, filling and topping separately.
Here are the ingredients:
Crust
450g of flour
275g of butter
200ml of water
1 teaspoon of sugar
A dash of salt
Filling
6 apples, cut into pieces
180g of sugar
50g of butter
25ml of lemon juice
50ml of boiled apple juice
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
Topping
1 beaten egg
25ml of water
1 teaspoon of sugar
To make the crust dough mix the flour, butter, sugar, and salt together. Add water slowly until the dough is smooth. Put into the fridge for half an hour. Divide it into two pieces for the top and bottom crust. Beat the dough until it is 1.5cm thick. Form two circles: 35 cm wide dough circle for the bottom crust and a 25cm wide circle for the top crust. To make the filling mix the sugar, cornstarch, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Soak the apple pieces in this mixture. Preheat the oven to 190 C. Use a 20 cm wide pie pan. Place the bottom crust dough into the pie pan so a little dough is over the pan's edges around the whole perimeter of the pan. Fill with apple filling. Place the upper dough layer on top and seal the edges. To make the topping whisk an egg with water and sugar and spread over the top of the pie. Bake for fifty minutes to an hour. Remove from the oven, leave it to cool down and serve. Your American apple pie is ready to enjoy. Bon appetit!
