Description

Recipe for a 22 cm pie dish.

Ingredients

Apple - 17.6 oz
Sugar - 4.2 oz
Wheat Flour - 8.1 oz
Salt - ½ spoons
Ground Cinnamon - 1 tablespoon
Butter - 6.3 oz
Meyer Lemon Juice - 1 tablespoon
Ground Nutmeg - ½ spoons
Corn Starch - 0.4 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a bowl, mix the sifted wheat flour, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 20 grams of sugar. Add the cubed butter (150 grams) and crumble it with a fork. Gradually start pouring in ice-cold water (50-70 ml), quickly kneading the dough with your hands. You may need a little more or less water; the goal is for the dough to come together and become elastic.

Step 2

Roll the dough into a ball and divide it in half. Shape each half into a ball and roll each one out into a disk about 3 mm thick and 26–27 cm in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet or board dusted with flour and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 3

At this time, prepare the apples: peel them, remove the seeds, and cut them into two-centimeter cubes. Place the apples in a deep bowl, add 100 g of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and lemon juice. Mix well. Melt 30 g of butter and stir in the starch.

Step 4

Remove the dough from the refrigerator, place the first portion in the baking dish (trim any excess if necessary), evenly distribute the apples on top, spread the butter-starch mixture over the filling, and cover with the second half of the dough. Pinch the edges to seal, make slits on top, and place in a preheated oven at 428°F. After 10 minutes, reduce the temperature to 356°F and bake until done, about 30–35 minutes.
