Ingredients Serving: 6
1 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour/maida
¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
¼ tsp Salt
4 to 5 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
¼ to ½ cup melted butter
¼ cup organic turbinado cane sugar (or use regular sugar or brown sugar)
2 tsp Cinnamon Powder
Flour for dusting
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, stir flour and salt with a whisk.
Add the chilled butter and mix gently with your fingers until the mixture forms coarse pea sized crumbs. You can do this in a food processor too by pulsing the flour, salt and butter.
Add 2 to 3 teaspoons of chilled water and make a dough that comes together which is not sticky and that you can gather to form a ball. Do not handle the dough too much.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes.
Grease the bottom and sides of a glass pie pan (9 or 10-inch) with butter and keep aside.
While the pastry dough is chilling, peel, core and slice the apples into thin slices.
Remove the chilled dough and on a floured surface, roll into a disc that is about at least 1 ½ inches larger than the bottom of the pie pan.
Using a rolling pin, gently lift the rolled dough and place in the pan. Press along the bottom edges of the pan to fit the pan. Leave the top edges rough, no need to crimp or make any design.
Sprinkle some cane sugar over the crust.
Start layering the slices of apples in a concentric circle until you fill it completely, overlapping the edges of the slices.
Melt butter and brush over the sides (along the outer edge of the crust) and over the slices of apples. Sprinkle cinnamon powder and some more sugar over the apples.
Fold the outer edge of the dough over the apple filling to cover it all around, like a galette.
Return the unbaked pie to the fridge and start preheating oven to 400 F (205 C).
Once the oven has reached the required temperature, remove unbaked pie from fridge, and bake at 400 F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375 F (190 C) and bake until the crust is golden brown about 30 minutes more.
Remove and cool until warm. Serve hot or warm with a blob of whipped cream, a scoop of your favorite ice cream (vanilla goes best) or eat it as such!
Happy Baking!
