I love making pies. My favourite is apple pie, I have already shared a rustic apple pie and i wanted to share a updated version of it..Hence i made this one.. I used my homemade shortcrust pastry recipe. It is a fool proof recipe, i use them for all my pies, tarts and stuffs like that..

This pie is so delicious, the crust is buttery the filling is sweet, cinnamony and full of delicious stuffs..It tasted great with a scoop of icecream..Yum when served hot or warm..The addition of orange juice and zest goes well with the apples..And never miss to add cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg, it really makes the dish. And the amount of sugar totally depends on you..

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

Preparation Time : 30 mins
Baking Time : 45 to 50 mins
Serves : 6 to 8

Ingredients:
Basic Shortcrust pastry dough (Check this for recipe) – One Batch
Butter for greasing pie dish


For Filling:

Apple- 3  peeled and sliced thinly
Sugar – 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup 
Black raisins – 2 tblspn
Cinnamon powder – 1 tsp
Nutmeg Powder – 1/4 tsp
Orange Juice – 2 tblspn
Orange Zest – 1 tsp
Salt a pinch
All Purpose Flour / Maida – 2 tblspn

For Topping:
Egg or Milk for brushing on top
Sugar – 1 tblspn for sprinkling on top
Method:

Preheat the oven to 200°C..Butter a pie plate generously and set it aside. I used a 15 cm pie dish.
Take the pastry out the prepared dough out of fridge and cut into two equal portions.
Take one of the dough and roll in between two sheets of plastic wrap. Line the pie plate with the sheet. Put this in fridge till you make filling.
Make the filling by mixing all the ingredients given for filling.

Take the other sheet and roll exactly like the same.
Fill the pie plate with the prepared filling and cover it with the other dough sheet.
Fold the rim and using a fork pinch the sides of the rim.Take a knife and make slashes in the centre of the dough.

Brush the top with some milk or egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake this for 30 mins in 200 degree C, Now reduce the temp to 180 Degree C and bake for another 20 to 25mins. Remove it from oven and set aside.

Serve warm or chilled.
