Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour 400 gram
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup milk + 2 TBSP
  • 2 packages yeast or 25 gram fresh yeast
  • 6 tbsp butter 50 gram
  • 3 tbsp sugar 35 gram
  • 7 apples (Fuji) or other sour variant
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 430 F.

  2. Sift the flour and salt into a big bowl. Preferably in a stand up mixer.

    Warm up the milk until it is lukewarm in a sauce pan. Take the sauce pan off the heat source. Add the yeast and stir until it's dissolved.

    Add the sugar and the butter in cubes to the flour.

    Knead the dough and add bit by bit the yeast/milk mixture to the dough. The dough should be soft. 

    Cover the dough with plastic or a towel and let it rest for 1 hour.

    You can put the ingredients (fluids first) in a bread making machine and turn on the dough cycle. It takes about 1 1/2 hours

  3. Grease a pie pan with a removable bottom part

    Knead the dough for a little more by hand and cut it in 2 parts. 1/3 for the top and 2/3 for the bottom.

    Roll the dough out with some flour and cover the bottom of the pie pan. Cut off excess dough.

    Cover the dough with plastic or a towel and let rest for another 30 minutes.

  4. In the meantime peel and cut the apples in slices. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the apple slices and toss carefully.

  5. Make a few holes with a fork in the dough in the pie pan and spread the apple slices over the bottom.

    Roll out the dough for the top and lay on top of the apples. Pinch the dough together on the side of the pie. Cut V's in the dough with scissors and brush a little water with some sugar on the top. 

  6. Bake the pie for about 30 minutes on 430 F. Let the pie cool down and serve with ice cream and/or whipped cream

    ENJOY!!!
