Apple Pie make it and enjoy

 

Ingredients:

For the Pie Crust:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and  chilled and cut into small pieces
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

 

 

 

For the Apple Filling:

• 6 to 8 medium apples (a mix of tart and sweet varieties like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp is ideal)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch (for thickening)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (for dotting on top)

 

 

 

For Assembly:

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling on top)

 

 

 

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pie Crust: 1.1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. 1.2. Cut in chilled butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter. 1.3. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. 1.4. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight).

 

 

 

1. Prepare the Apple Filling: 2.1. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. 2.2. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour or cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.

 

 

 

1. Assemble the Pie: 3.1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). 3.2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough disks into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate, trimming the edges if necessary. 3.3. Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture and dot with small pieces of butter. 3.4. Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the apple filling. Trim the excess dough, then crimp the edges to seal. 3.5. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Alternatively, you can create a lattice crust by cutting the top dough into strips and weaving them over the filling. 3.6. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

 

 

 

1. Bake the Pie: 4.1. Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. 4.2. If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.

 

 

 

1. Cool and Serve: 5.1. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly.

 

 

 

Tips:

• Crust Texture: For a flakier crust, ensure your butter is very cold and handle the dough as little as possible.
• Apple Variety: A mix of apple varieties provides a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
• Lattice Crust: If making a lattice crust, you can use the same dough recipe. The second disk should be rolled out and cut into strips. Over the filling, weave the strips in a crisscross pattern.

Enjoy your homemade apple pie! If you need any more details or have specific questions, feel free to ask.
