Apple pie one of the simple dishes using shortcrust pastry, that can be baked at home.

Pastry:

Flour - 200 gms

Cold Butter - 100 gms

Sugar - 1 tbsp

Salt - a pinch

Ice water - to mix the dough

Filling:

Apples - 2, medium

Sultanas - 1 tbsp ( optional)

Sugar - ½ cup

Flour - 2 tbsp

Butter - 2 tbsp

Nutmeg powder - ½ tsp

Cinnamon powder - ½ tsp

Pastry:

Mix flour, salt & sugar together.

Add cold butter cut into pieces to the above &mix them both to breadcrumb consistency.

This should be done thoroughly – if you have a pastry cutter or a whisk, use it.

The idea is to aerate the mixture so that the pastry will be crisp.

Add ice water – enough for the mixture to just hold together.

Do not knead it much, just lightly.

Make into bigger & smaller portions.

This amount is correct for a 8” pie dish.

Lightly flour the surface & roll the bigger portion into a circle 10” diameter.

Fit it into the pie dish so that the sides are also lined with the pastry.

Keep it in the fridge for 30 mts.

Roll the smaller part into a small circle, cut into ¼ “ strips & refrigerate them also.

Peel, core & slice or grate the apples.

It is preferable to grate them eventhough slicing gives an attractive look.

Mix flour, sugar, spices & sultanas in a bowl.

Stir in the apples.

Take out the pie dish & pour the filling into the dish.

Dot with butter all over.

Place the strips on it criss cross.

Bake at 375 – 400egrees F for about 45 mts or till the strips turn brown & apple juice starts bubbling through.

Cut into wedges & servw with ice cream.
