Ingredients:
2 shortcrust pastries (you can do it yourself as well but it will take a little bit longer)
Apples, quite "hard" ones if possible; about 4 or 5 (according to your taste)
Sugar (I personally like to use brown sugar)
Juice of a yellow lemon
Cinnamon
Butter
Some flour
An egg yolk
A little bit of water
Preparation:
1. Cut the apples in slices or dices, as you want. Keep in mind that you'll need to bake them after ! So think about the size of saucepan.
2. Prepare your saucepan. Melt some butter in it, with a little bit of sugar (according to your taste but I don't usually ad a lot, fruits' sugar is enough to me). Gently add your apples; plus the lemon juice, and let it cook on a low fire.
3. Stir your apples time to time so they all cook the same way. Once you have a kind of "juice" in your saucepan, you can add some flour (like 2 and a half spoon) so you will have something thicker. Then add cinnamon. Once you're happy with the texture of your apples, remove the saucepan from the fire.
4. Let your apples cool down a little. Then, put one of the shortcrust pastries on a dish (that goes in the oven). Don't forget baking paper beneath. Then add your apples on your shortcrust pastry.
5. I personally add more cinnamon at that step. So now you have to put your other shortcrust pastry over your "apple tart". "Melt" the edges of the pastries together with a little bit of water and your fingers. Then apply the egg yolk on the top to make it shiny!
6. Baking time ! Pre-heat your oven to 180°C. I usually cook my pie in the oven for about 25 min; but it quite depends on the quality of your oven. When it looks good, simply remove it from the oven and let it cool a little.
7. Enjoy your apple pie !
Tips :
- If you're making your own shortcrust pastry : I personally like to add hazelnuts in "powder", and sometimes hazelnuts "crumbs" directly over the apples. But of course avoid it if you're allergic... !
- end of summer : you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if it's still quite hot outside
- autumn/Halloween : I think it is a perfect way to end an Halloween meal ! Especially with pumpkin juice.
- you can also use pears for this recipe.
