Apple pie

Apple pie is a classic dessert loved by many for its comforting flavors and deliciously flaky crust. Using simple and readily available ingredients, this recipe will guide you through the steps to create a delightful apple pie perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
3 tbsp butter
44g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
2 eggs
100g
1 tbsp water
16g
1 tbsp milk (1% fat)
16g
4 apples
640g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apples:
- Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly.
- Place the sliced apples in a mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.
2. Make the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 3 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of water and 1 tablespoon of milk until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the 1/2 cup of self-raising flour to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter.
4. Add Flavorings:
- Fold in the minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into the batter. Mix until evenly distributed.
5. Assemble the Pie:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a pie dish or baking pan with a little butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly.
- Arrange the apple slices over the batter in the dish, creating an even layer.
- Pour the remaining batter over the apple slices, making sure to cover them as much as possible.
6. Bake the Pie:
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the apple pie to cool for about 15 minutes before serving; this will make it easier to cut and help the flavors to meld.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Tips:

- Use a mix of different apple varieties for a more complex and interesting flavor.

- Chill your pie dough before rolling it out to make it easier to handle and to prevent shrinking while baking.

- Make sure to preheat your oven to the right temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.

- Brush the top of the pie crust with a little bit of milk or beaten egg before baking for a beautiful golden finish.

- If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the amount of sugar to your taste.

- For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the apple filling.

- Serve your apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

With a golden crust and a warm, spiced apple filling, your homemade apple pie is sure to impress. Serve it as a delightful end to any meal or enjoy it on its own as a comforting treat. Happy baking!
