Invented in the 14th century in England, apple pies are now a universal and standard part of cuisine in countless places where apples are grown and harvested. Ever wondered how you can make your very own apple pie? Baking can be a great way to slow down and unplug, offer a fun activity with kids, and fill your kitchen with the comforting aroma.
This recipe will guide you on how you can bake a traditional apple pie in your Dorset Gardens home. You can enjoy it fresh from the oven during your housewarming party or freeze the pie whole whilst raw and wrap tightly until ready to bake. For a glossy, golden-brown finish, and if you want to add decorative pieces on top, brush your pie with a protein-rich egg wash. Mix beaten yolks or whites diluted with milk or water.
Ingredients
To make apple pie, you must first prepare the ingredients. These include:
- (14.1-ounce) package of pastry
- 7 Cups of peeled, sliced, and cored apples
- 1 Cup of white sugar
- 1 Teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ¼ Teaspoon of salt
- ⅛ Teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 2 Tablespoons of butter
- 3 Tablespoons of all-purpose flour
Instructions:
Now that you have all the ingredients, it is time to follow the instructions listed below:
- Preheat the oven to about 420 degrees F (220 degrees C). Then line a 9-inch plate with the bottom crust.
- Combine the apples, sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Then place the mixture into the prepared plate.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
- Lower the oven temperature to about 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and bake until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender, 40 to 50 minutes.
- Let cool and then serve.
Each slice with your fork will give you a crisp crust with a nicely glazed filling and the aroma of the buttery pastry. Savor your homemade pie with some cheese or vanilla ice cream!
