Classic Apple Pie
Few desserts evoke the warmth and comfort of a homemade apple pie.
YOU WILL NEED:
- Pie Crust
- 1 kg (about 6 cups) apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (use a mix of sweet and tart varieties)
- Juice of one lemon
- 50 g (1/4 cup) raisins
- 50 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla pudding powder
DIRECTIONS
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Follow the instructions to create a flaky and delicious pie crust. Allow the dough to chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the apple filling.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Make the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, raisins, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss the mixture until the apples are well coated.
- Roll Out the Pie Crust: Roll out the chilled pie crust on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Transfer the crust to the dish, pressing it gently against the bottom and sides.
- Fill the Pie: Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Feel free to arrange the apple slices in a decorative pattern. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 3 tablespoons of milk, 1 spoon of sugar and 1 spoon of vanilla pudding powder. Pour the mixture over the apples.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the apple pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect finishing touch.
