This recipe will guide you through making a delicious apple pie using simple ingredients like butter, flour, sugar, and a single apple. Perfect for sharing, this dessert is sure to impress your friends and family.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1 yolk
16g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1 tsp salt
5g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1/2 cup water
120g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 apple
160g
1 tbsp lemon juice
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, self-raising flour, and salt.
- Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Whisk the egg yolk with the ice-cold water and pour it over the flour mixture. Stir until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough into two equal halves. Shape each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Apple Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the apple slices, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well until the apple slices are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the lemon juice over the apple mixture to prevent browning and add a touch of tartness. Set aside.
3. Assemble the Pie:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough discs to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.
- Fill the crust with the apple mixture, spreading it out evenly.
- Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the apple filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
4. Bake:
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning.
5. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the filling to set.
6. Enjoy!
- Serve slices of this classic apple pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure that your butter is cold when making the pastry dough, as this helps create a flaky crust.

- Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined to avoid overworking it, which can result in a tough crust.

- When slicing the apple, aim for thin, even slices to ensure uniform cooking.

- To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, you can blind bake it for 10 minutes at 375°F (190°C) before adding the filling.

- Allow the pie to cool for at least an hour before cutting into it; this will help the filling set and make slicing easier.

Making apple pie from scratch is a rewarding experience that yields a delicious and comforting dessert. By following this recipe, you will achieve a beautifully golden crust with a perfectly spiced apple filling. Share it warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and enjoy the smiles on your loved ones' faces.
