my apple pie


Ingredients:6 people
  • apples (Preferably Reinettes)
    1 kg
  • powdered sugar
    75g
  • fresh butter
    40 g
  • Short crust pastry


Preparation:
  • Preparation time:20 minutes
  • Cooking time:30 minutes


Difficulty:[usr 2]

Prepare the apples:cut them in 4, remove cores and seeds, then finely peel the quarters, then cut them into slices 3 to 4 mm thick.

Prepare the shortcrust pastry

Roll it out, forming a disk slightly larger than the mold used and about 4 mm thick.

Darken the mold (no need to butter it, the dough itself does not stick). Pinch edges with fingertips to form a ridge.

Arrange the apples evenly, flat, taking care not to perforate the dough by overlapping them. Put a first row on the outside, then a second, reversing the direction to give a design.

We can put a lot of apples, the pie will be better.

Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar, dot with a few pieces of butter.

If there are leftover dough scraps, you can cut them into strips and form a grid on top of the pie, but this is not essential.

Bake in a very hot oven. (th.7/8 - 250°C) It takes about 30-35 minutes to get a perfectly golden pie, baked top and bottom.

Remove from oven, unmold immediately and let cool on a wire rack.

Serve this pie preferably warm, or at least within a few hours of making it.

My shortcrust pastry:

For 6 people:

  • 200g flour
  • 100 g extra-fine butter
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • about 1/2 glass of cold water

Development:

  • Cut the slightly firm butter into small hazelnuts and crumble it lightly with your fingertips in the flour.
  • Make a fountain, place the salt and sugar in the center and pour in just enough water to absorb the flour and form a ball of soft but not sticky dough.
  • Proceed very quickly to absolutely avoid kneading the dough, which should remain coarse and lumpy. Roll into a ball and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • The dough having rested, "mill" it by spreading it with the palm of your hand to give it more cohesion, fold it in four like a napkin.
