Golden syrup apple pie is a delightful dessert that combines the rich sweetness of maple syrup with the crisp and tart flavor of apples. This pie features a delicate crust made from all-purpose white wheat flour and a blend of sugars, creating a texture that perfectly complements the juicy apple filling. Whether you are preparing for a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself to a comforting dessert, this recipe will guide you through the process of making a sensational golden syrup apple pie.
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 tbsp sugar.
- Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg white and water. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more water, one teaspoon at a time, until it comes together.
- Form the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples, maple syrup, brown sugar, corn flour, and cinnamon. Mix until the apples are well-coated with the syrup and spices.
- Stir in the finely chopped almonds.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
- Gently place the rolled dough into the pie dish, allowing the excess dough to hang over the edges.
- Pour the apple filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the top of the apple filling. Trim the excess dough from the edges and crimp them together to seal.
- Cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water.
- Brush the egg wash over the top crust to give it a beautiful golden-brown finish when baked.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- If the edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
- Serve the Golden Syrup Apple Pie warm or at room temperature, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure that your butter is at room temperature before you begin mixing it with the other ingredients for a smoother dough consistency.
- Use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, to achieve a balance of tartness and sweetness in your pie.
- To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, you can pre-bake it for about 10 minutes before adding the filling.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out to make it easier to handle and to achieve a flaky crust.
- When slicing the apples, try to keep them uniformly thin to ensure even cooking.
- For added flavor, toast the almonds lightly before incorporating them into the pie.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing to let the filling set properly, ensuring cleaner slices.
Once your golden syrup apple pie is baked to perfection, you'll notice the wonderful aroma of cinnamon and apples filling your kitchen.
