Today we shall discuss the very preferred and Apple Pie. The combination of the apple with its crust, baked to perfection with a topping of vanilla ice cream is to die for. Let's begin our apple pie right from the beginning.
\"Pie Recipe\"
Any pie recipe has 2 steps.
1. Preparation of the crust.
2. Filling.
To prepare the crust, you need the following ingredients-
1. 2 and ½ cups of all purpose flour
2. 1 cup unsalted butter (Cold)
3. 1 Teaspoon sugar
4. 1 Teaspoon salt
5. Ice cold water
Mix the flour with ice cold butter cut in cubes. Add sugar and salt and mix it well, with cold water till the crumbs of the flour with pieces of butter and water hold together as dough. If they still crumble add a few drops of water again. Roll the dough to form the crust bottom and another for the covering layer. Cover the two rolled crust with a cloth and leave it in the refrigerator.
For the apple filling, peel the apples and slice then long. Take apples according to the size of the crust plate, or baking tray. Approximately you can take 6 -7 cups of all apple for a medium sized pie. Add ½ cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon freshly grounded cinnamon, 1/4th teaspoon of nutmeg powder, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of butter to the sliced apples. Mix this well.
Place the cold rolled crust into the pie pan. Brush butter over the crust and place the apple fillings into the crust. Now place the next cold rolled crust over the filling, covering the pan. Blend the two crusts from the sides to close the apple filling with-in perfectly. Take a fork and poke in a few holes to give way to the moisture while making. You can always beat an egg and brush it slightly over the crust, or else simply bush butter over before baking. Pre-heat the oven up to 350 degree F and bake the pie for about 15 to 20 minutes till you see it turning golden brown and the aroma of baked cinnamon flavored apples inviting you.
Cool the pie and serve the pie slices with vanilla ice cream. You can try the above pie recipe with different fruits like strawberry, mango or oranges and pineapple for other fruit flavors.
