Classic Apple Pie
A classic, comforting apple pie made with tart baking apples for a perfectly balanced sweet-sharp flavour. Easy to make and ideal for using up extra apples — delicious served warm with ice cream, custard, or whipped cream.
Equipment
Shallow Pie Dish
Ingredients
- 675 g Cooking Apples (peeled, cored and cut into chunks)
- 55 g Caster Sugar
- ½ tsp Ground Nutmeg (or ground cloves)
- 3 tbsp Cold Water
Apple Pie Pastry
- 175 g Plain Flour
- 40 g Margarine (cubed, or butter)
- 40 g White Vegetable Fat/Lard (cubed or butter)
- Milk (to glaze)
- Granulated Sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Arrange half the apples in the bottom of the dish, sprinkle with caster sugar and nutmeg evenly over the apples. Cover with the remaining apples and add the water.
Pastry
- Place the flour in a bowl, add the fats and rub in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the cold water to mix to a firm dough.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cover the top of the pie dish. Use any pastry trimmings to decorate (opt). Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200℃/180℃ Fan/400℉/Gas 6. Brush the pastry with milk, then sprinkle the top with sugar. Make a small slit in the centre of the pie for the steam to escape and bake for 40 minutes until the pastry is crisp and pale golden.
