"Good apple pies are a considerable part of our domestic happiness" -Jane Austen. Tis true. There is no dessert more looked forward to than a good slice of homemade apple pie...just imagine, a flaky crust with a sweet apple filling melting together with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Heavenly, i know. This was my first time making apple pie and thanks to this recipe, it certainly won't be the last.
Ingredients
For the Crust
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup cold water
FILLING
6-7 medium apples
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
FOR CRUST:.
In a medium to large sized bowl, mix together flour and salt.
Cut in butter with a pastry blender, until you have oatmeal-sized pieces of butter.
Slowly add water, little amounts at a time (you do not want to add too much) and toss with fork until dough starts to come together.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough. (This recipe makes the top and bottom crust, divide dough in half before rolling.).
Put one crust in the pie pan, set the other aside.
FOR FILLING:.
Preheat oven 450°F, after 5 minutes of preheating, pre-bake the bottom pie shell 1-2 minutes.
Cut apples and set aside in a medium/large sized bowl.
In another bowl, mix sugars, spices and 2 tbsp flour. Reserve 2-3 tbsp of mixture in a seperate bowl.
Toss apples in mixture, and arrange in pie pan (dome shape works well).
Sprinkle 1 tsp flour, then with reserved mixture.
Dot with butter, and cover with second crust. Seal/flute edges and slit steam vents.
Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F, then rotate pie and bake 30-35 minutes at 350°F
Enjoy!
