Instructions
Cooking The Apples
- Preheat the oven to 180° C - 356° F (fan oven) and then prepare the apples.
- Peel and core the apples using an apple corer which makes life much easier! Cut them in halves, then thinly slice.
- Melt the butter in a large pan and add the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Give it a good stir, making sure all apples are evenly covered with cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar.
- Cook it on medium heat until the apples are slightly softened and the juice from the apples is reduced to a syrup consistency.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and let the apple mixture cool down for 10 minutes while preparing the puff pastry crust.
Preparing The Puff Pastry Crust
- Unfold one of the puff pastries and roll it on a lightly floured surface 5 cm (2") larger than the pie dish.
- Lift the pastry over the rolling pin and gently transfer it into the pie dish.
- Trim the edges and gently press to tuck the pastry into the cavity of the pie dish.
- Fill the pastry shell with the spiced apple filling and spread it evenly.
- Roll out the other puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and place it on top of the apple filling. Crimp or pinch the outer edge to seal the top and bottom crusts together.
Baking The Pie
- Eggwash the pastry and sprinkle on the demerara sugar.
- Place the pie in preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Check the pie and cover the top with tin foil if it is already brown and bake it for another 15 minutes or until the filling is bubbling away.

Notes
- The type of apple you use for the pie filling is the key to how your pie will taste like. Use a variety of cooking and eating apples for two different textures. Apples that are sweet and sour at the same time are the best options. Make sure you adjust the amount of sugar given in the recipe to your taste. Not all apples taste the same!
- If using frozen pastries, let them thaw before using them and bring them to room temperature.
- To make things even easier and quicker, you can prepare the filling a couple of days in advance and keep it refrigerated until you want to bake your pie.
- If your Apple Pie is getting brown too quickly, cover the crust with tin foil to slow down the browning and avoid the crust burning.
