Absolutely Awesome Apple Pie

(Source: applepierecipe.org)

(Makes enough for one double crust or two single 23cm pies)

For flakiest crust, make sure all ingredients including the flour are cold

Ingredients:

  • 6 dL. all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2.4 dL. unsalted butter/margarine
  • 0.6 dL. iced water (or clean snow!!)

Combine flour and salt, and add butter/margarine. Add iced water slowly. Test it - if it is too crumbly add more water - one tablespoon at a time

Turn the dough out onto a clean surface. Divide in half and place each on a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into flattened disks. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Pie Filling:

  • 1.8 dL. sugar
  • 0.6 dL. all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 cups apples (approximately 6 apples)
  • 2 tablespoons butter/margarine

Preheat oven to 205 degrees Celsius. Mix dry ingredients, add apples

Put into pastry lined dish. Dot with butter. Cover with crust. Add slits in flower shape on top of the pie. Add foil around the edges of the pie during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Cook for approximately 40-50 minutes. Enjoy!!
