Easy As Apple Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Place bottom crust in pan. Add apples, sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg. Top with butter, place top crust over and vent with a few holes poked in pastry top. Bake 375 degrees for one hour.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
• In a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the egg and mix until smooth.
• With the mixer on low, beat in dry ingredients until smooth (at this point the batter will be quite thick). Fold in the apples and nuts by hand.
• Spread batter evenly into a greased and floured 9-inch fluted tart or quiche pan with 1-inch sides. (Alternatively you can use a 9-inch cake pan with 1-inch sides.) Bake until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine sugars, flour and spices; set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat. , On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim even with rim. Add filling; dot with butter. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Beat egg white until foamy; brush over crust. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover edge loosely with foil. , Bake 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 20-25 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet in the oven, then preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Peel the Golden Delicious and Gala apples, then slice into ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick wedges. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl with the apples and mix until the apples are well coated.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out a pie dough round to a 10-inch (25 cm) circle. Roll the dough around the rolling pin, brushing off any excess flour, then unroll into a 9-inch (24 cm) pie dish, making sure the dough is centered. Fill with the apple mixture. Refrigerate while you prepare the top crust.
• Roll out the remaining pie dough round to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Cut out 6 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips and 8 ½-inch (21 cm) strips.
• Lay the longest 1-inch (2.54 cm) strip vertically over the center of the pie, then 2 more 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips on either side. Place 2 ½-inch (6.5 cm) strips between each set of 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips. Fold back the 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips and place another 1-inch (2.54 cm) strip horizontally across the pie about ⅓ of the way down. Fold the vertical 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips back down. Continue adding the remaining ½-inch (1.24 cm) and 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips to create a lattice top.
• Roll the excess dough around the edges inward toward the pie, tucking the ends in. Use your index finger on one hand and thumb and index finger on the other hand to crimp the edge. Brush off any excess flour, then brush the egg wash all over the dough. Sprinkle the raw sugar on top.
• Brush the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with the raw sugar. Cut four slits in the top of the pie to create a vent.
• Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and place the pie dish on top, then return to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, covering with foil halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
• Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. To make the pastry, sift the flour into a large mixing bowl and add the butter or margarine. Using your fingers, mix together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add about 3 tbsp cold water - 1 tbsp at a time - to bind the mixture into a ball. Then wrap it in cling film and leave to chill in the fridge while you prepare the apples, or for 30 mins if you have time.
• While the pastry is chilling, core the apples, then cut into even-sized chunks so they all cook in the same amount of time. Put the apples into the pie dish, drizzle over the honey and add the cinnamon, mixed spice and about 2 tbsp water.
• Roll out the pastry on a floured work surface until it is large enough to cover the pie dish. Using the rolling pin, carefully lift the pastry and lay it over the top of the apple mixture. Carefully trim off the excess pastry (this can be rerolled and cut into shapes to decorate the pie crust if you like) and press the pastry edges onto the dish to create a seal.
• Make a small cut in the pastry so that the air can escape during cooking, then brush with beaten egg to glaze.
• Bake the pie in the oven for 20-30 mins until the pastry is golden and sandy in appearance and the apple filling is bubbling and hot. Serve while still warm with crème fraîche, ice cream or natural yogurt.
