Zutaten:
- 1 pie crust (whole recipe for top and bottom crust)
- 8 medium apples (peeled, cored and sliced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Arbeitsschritte:
- Make the pie crust according to this pie crust recipe. You can also use store bought pie crust.
- While pie crust is resting in the fridge, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon and flour. Set aside.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and let it sit at room temperature for up to 10 minutes. This is required to soften the dough a bit, so that you can roll it out.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Roll out each disc using a rolling pin. If your dough is sticking to the surface or to the rolling pin add a bit more flour as necessary. Roll it until it's about ⅛ of an inch in thickness. Place the pie dough lightly into a pie plate. I usually roll it on the rolling pin and unroll it over the pie plate. (see video) Crimp the edge and cut off excess dough.
- Add the apple mixture to the bottom crust
- Roll out the second disc. Gently place on top of the filling and make vents using a sharp knife, or cut into long strips to make a lattice. Trim the excess dough, if needed. Brush generously with beaten egg.
- Bake for about an hour or until the crust is golden and starts to brown and juices are bubbling.
