Hello 
top-chef theme apples. Normally my husband makes nice pies and taught me how they make them since I came to Norway. apples are very common and we are always making many different things with them,
today I got some time make an apple pie a little different than we normally do.
Ingredients:
2 cups white flour
1/3 cup sugar
200 grams butter
1/2 cup almonds, ground to powder.
1 egg
7 apples
1 tsp vanilla essence
4 Tbsp apple juice.
water
mix the flour, the 170-gram butter, and 1/4 cup of almond powder in the food processor. add egg and 2 Tbsp apple juice make a dough, and keep in the fridge.
mix together the remaining 1/4 cup almond powder, 1 Tbsp butter,1 Tbsp white flour,1 tsp vanilla, 1 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp apple juice to make a cream.
Clean and feel, no, i mean peel the apples and cut into slices. In the pan make caramel from 1 Tbsp sugar. add the apple slices and 1 Tbsp butter cook it until the apples become soft. take out the dough from the fridge, roll it and set it in a pie pan. make sure to have some leftover for the top crust
make some holes in the pie bottom using a fork. bake the bottom crust in the preheated oven around 200c for about 12-14 minutes.
After cooling the crust, spread the cream made from sugar almonds etc..place the apple slices on top. make a decorative top crust. it was not very special but made just a few thin strips on top. put the pie back in the 180 C oven for baking 30-40 minutes.
the pie is baked.
if you feel it was not enough apples feel, i mean peel and slice two more apples and cook them in the leftover caramel in the pan and put them around the edge of the pie.
when cool sprinkle some powder sugar on top and enjoy.
