Classic Apple Pie

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 14.1 oz
Butter - 13 tablespoons
Margarine - 2.5 oz
Salt - ½ teaspoon
Water - 4 tablespoons
Sugar - 6.3 oz
Apple - 4 lbs
Meyer Lemon Juice - 1 teaspoon
Ground Cinnamon - ½ teaspoon
Vanilla extract - ½ teaspoon
Milk - 1 tablespoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour with salt. Chop 10 tablespoons of butter and margarine into coarse crumbs and rub them into the flour with your hands. Sprinkle with three tablespoons of water and knead the dough until it forms moist clumps. If the dough is too dry, add more water. Divide the resulting mass into 2 parts, flatten each, wrap in plastic wrap, and leave in the refrigerator for an hour.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 392°F. Grease a baking dish using a non-stick spray or oil and breadcrumbs. Peel the apples, remove the cores, and slice them thinly. Then mix with 150 grams of sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the mixture to soak.

Step 3

Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll out one of the parts to make a circle with a diameter of 30 cm. Place it in the dish. Spread the apple mixture on top and dot with pieces of butter.

Step 4

Roll out the second part of the dough into a circle a couple of centimeters larger than the first. Use a bottle cap (from beer or wine) to cut out 10 circles from the dough for decoration. Set them aside, and place the dough with holes on top of the filling. Pinch the edges of the dough together on both sides. Brush the pie with milk. In a small bowl, mix the remaining tablespoon of sugar with a pinch of cinnamon and sprinkle it on top.

Step 5

Place foil or parchment paper on a baking sheet and set the pie dish on it. Reduce the oven temperature to 374°F. Bake for 80 minutes until the crust is golden brown. The apples should soften, and the filling should start bubbling. If the top layer begins to burn, cover the pie with foil.
