Apple pie

Make Apple pie at home

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1 tsp salt
• 6 to 8 tbsp ice water
• 6 medium apples, peeled and sliced
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 egg, beaten

How it's made

1. Rub the butter into the flour and salt until pea-sized pieces remain; add water a spoonful at a time until the dough just holds. Divide in two, wrap and chill 1 hour.
2. Toss the apples with sugar, flour, spices and lemon juice.
3. Roll out half the dough and line a 9-inch pie plate.
4. Pile in the apples and dot with a little butter.
5. Roll the second crust, cover the pie, crimp the edges and cut a few steam vents.
6. Brush with beaten egg and bake at 425 F (220 C) for 20 minutes, then 375 F (190 C) for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and bubbling.
7. Cool at least 1 hour before slicing.
