Everyone likes to eat the delicious yummy desserts. Here's a recipe of the ever best and tasty Apple Pie
IngredientsFor the pastry2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 pinch of salt, 5soft unsalted butter, 1 iced water.
For the filling5 apples, 1/2 cup soft unsalted butter, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup superfine sugar, 1/2 cup soft light brown sugar, 1 pinch of salt, 1/4 cup water, cinnamon(to taste).
For the glazeMilk, superfine sugar
How to prepareHeat the oven to 425 degrees F. Make the pastry... cut the butter into small squares, and refrigerate. Measure the flour and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter, and using a pastry cutter, blend in the butter until it resembles wet sand. Bring together, using a few tablespoons of ice water at a time, until almost totally cohesive, then work it for a bit to make it a nice dough.
Cut in half, and form each half into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate till needed. Peel, core, and quarter the apples. Then cut each apple quarter in half lengthways, then each of those pieces in half horizontally(to give you 16 chunks per apple).
Cover the apples directly with plastic wrap to prevent browning. Place in the fridge. Melt butter in a 2-quart(about 2 litre) sauce pan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add sugar, brown sugar, salt, andn water; bring to a bubbly simmer. Reduce temperature, and simmer 5 minutes, stirring a lot.
Meanwhile, roll out your pastry and place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. When the sauce is done, slowly and evenly pour it over the apples.
Place the top crust on, seal edges and roll the excess under, and flute edges. Cut four steam slits in the top to look like a cross but don't connect at the middle. Paint the crust with the milk, and generously sprinkle over the sugar. Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees F. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes.
