How To Make A Simple Homemade Apple Pie

How To Make A Simple Homemade Apple Pie

This Apple Pie is packed full of flavour and finished with a flaky golden pastry.

To make this Apple Pie from scratch, we first need to choose the apples. traditionally it is used making brambly or granny smith apples, but i think they are too sharp and no matter how much sugar you add its always too tart.

Instead i use Pink Lady Apples, these apples are very sweet and when you eat them they fizz in your mouth. For me they are the best apples, but you could use whatever apples are your favourite

Next the apples are flavoured with traditional Cinnamon and Nutmeg blend which really smells like Christmas

Next we will be making a flaky pastry from scratch. The secret to great pastry is all about keeping it chilled and using good ingredients.
Make sure you use unsalted butter and not margarine.
After working the flour and butter into breadcrumbs its time to add the egg yolk. this gives the pasty a beautiful golden colour and really enriches the dough.. perfect for an apple pie.

we will be blind baking the pastry to stop it getting a soggy bottom and then topping it with a beautiful pastry lattice

this isn't the easiest of recipes, pastry can be really tricky. However the rewards are outstanding. You really cant beat a warm slice of apple pie on a cold and miserable day.

The only real question is, do you prefer your apple pie with custard or ice-cream?
