American apple pie

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake an American pie? Prepare the products according to the list. If you wish, you can replace some of the water with egg yolk, then the dough will be even softer! The butter should be at room temperature; remove it from the refrigerator in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   I kneaded the dough in a food processor, but it is very easy to do by hand. Sift the wheat flour into the bowl of a food processor, add powdered sugar and diced butter.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grind the flour, butter and powdered sugar into fine crumbs. If you knead by hand, then either chop the mixture with a knife or rub the butter and flour with your hands, but then act very quickly so that the butter does not begin to melt from the warmth of your hands. Add vanilla tincture and part of the water to the butter crumbs.

4. STEP 4

   

   Knead the dough. Add water in small portions until the dough begins to come together. Do not add all the water at once, you may need more or less water!.

5. STEP 5

   

   Roll the finished dough into a ball, slightly flatten it, wrap it in film and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. If you have enough time, it is better, of course, to leave the dough in the refrigerator for an hour. Turn on the oven at 180 degrees.

6. STEP 6

   

   While the dough is resting, make the filling. Wash the apples, remove the peel and core. Cut the apples into slices.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mix apples with cinnamon, sugar and lemon juice. If desired, you can add a little lemon zest. If the apples are very juicy, then add 1 tbsp. l. starch.

8. STEP 8

   

   Divide the dough into two unequal parts.

9. STEP 9

   

   Roll out most of the dough to the size of your pan, taking into account the sides. Place in a greased pan and make sides. Place apple filling on top. Level it out. Read about how to choose a baking dish in a separate article at the link at the end of the recipe.

10. STEP 10

    

    Roll out the second part of the dough thinly, cut into even strips and cover the pie with them in the form of a grid. Pinch the edges with your fingers to the sides of the pie. Before baking, if desired, brush the cake with a brush dipped in milk. This will give it a brighter crust.

11. STEP 11

    

    Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180C for about 30-40 minutes. The exact time depends on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe. Let the finished pie cool slightly, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

12. STEP 12

    

    The pie is delicious either hot with a scoop of ice cream or cold. Bon appetit!

Classic apple pie. The perfect combination of shortcrust pastry, apples and cinnamon. The dough is easy to work with, I made it according to the recipe using water. I baked it in a 28 cm pan, took the ingredients for 7 servings (thanks again to KHRUMKA for the recalculation function). .

In general, the recipe for American apple pie exists in two versions. In the first, the dough is prepared in vegetable oil, and in the second - in butter or margarine. I like the first option better, the dough turns out very crispy and looks nicer. And the second version of American pie is called apple pie; as a rule, lemon juice and zest are added to it. But I prefer the taste of apples and cinnamon. You don’t have to add butter to the filling, but add a couple of tablespoons of flour, then the filling will turn out like confiture.
