Cooking At Home: Apple Pie

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!
