cup/ 300g Flour
1teaspoonBaking powder
7tablespoon/ 100g Butter
1Egg
3drops Vanilla aroma
1tablespoonAgave or sweetener of choice
¼cup/ 60ml Water or milk
Filling:
6Apples
½Lemon juice
1teaspoonCinnamonground
Kitchen equipment:
Ø9½" / Ø25cm Baking tray
Instructions
Put flour, baking powder, butter, egg, vanilla, optional sweetener and the water or milk into a medium size bowl.
Work the butter and egg into the flour until comes together by hand. A lot depends on the moisture content of the flour. If the dough is too dry and flaky, pour a little bit of more milk or water over the mixture. If it still sticks to the bowl or onto our hands after ten minutes of kneading then add a bit of more flour to it.
Place the dough ball into the fridge until chilled or at least until we finish shredding the apples.
Peel and shred the apples. Hold them at the core without shredding hands so keep the core and shred it around.
Sprinkle the apples with lemon juice so they won't go brown. Add the cinnamon and work it together.
Get the dough out of the fridge and divide it into two pieces. A bigger and a smaller piece: 1/3 and 2/3.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the bigger piece of dough into the form and size of our baking tray.
Place disk onto the tray, fit or tweak it if needed.
Put the filling on top of the dough.
Roll out the smaller part of dough on floured surface. Cut and roll them into strips. Lay out 4 to 6 parallel strips across pie. Form lattice by arranging another 4 to 6 strips diagonally across first strips.
Brush the top with egg yolk.
Place apple pie into the 350°F / 180°C preheated oven for about half an hour to bake.
