Ingredients
- 350 g plain flour
- 225 g butter Unsalted, cold and cut into small pieces
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 egg Beaten
- 1 kg apples Peeled, cored, and chopped
- 100 g caster sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tbsp butter Unsalted, softened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/gas mark 6.
- In a large bowl, mix together the plain flour, 2 tablespoons of caster sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingertips to rub them into the flour mixture until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
- Add the beaten egg to the mixture and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two portions, one slightly larger than the other.
- Roll out the larger portion of the dough on a floured surface to fit a 23cm pie dish. Gently press the dough into the bottom of the dish and up the sides.
- In another large bowl, combine the chopped apples, 100g of caster sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and plain flour. Mix well.
- Pour the apple mixture into the pie dish and dot it with softened butter.
- Roll out the smaller portion of the dough on a floured surface to form the top of the pie. Lay it over the top of the apple filling and trim the edges to fit the dish.
- Use a fork to press the edges of the dough together to seal the pie.
- Cut a few slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.
- If you wish to make a lattice pattern, slice your pastry into strips approximately 1.5 cm wide (about ½ inch) and arrange them in layers on top of your pie. Remove any extra pastry that extends beyond the pie edges.
- Bake the apple pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- After baking, let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. You can serve the apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if you like.
