Equipment

  • Pie Dish or Pie Plate
  • Rolling Pin
  • Parchment paper or Cling Wrap

Ingredients

For Filling

  • 4 large Apples peeled, sliced
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • ¼ cup Raisins
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp Orange Juice
  • 1 tsp Orange Zest
  • 1 pinch Salt a pinch
  • ¼ cup All Purpose Flour

Toppings

  • 1 Egg or milk (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Butter a pie plate generously and set it aside. I used a 15 cm pie dish.
  • Make the filling by mixing all the ingredients given for filling. Set aside.
  • 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.
  • 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 15 mins in 200 degree C, Now reduce the temp to 180 Degree C and bake for another 40 to 45 mins. Remove it from oven and set aside.
  • Let the apple pie rest for 1 to 2 hours before slicing. Serve warm or hot with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

    • You can make the pastry a day ahead and store in fridge. You can store prepared shortcrust pastry in fridge upto a week.
    • You can cook apple filling for 10 minutes so the apples soften bit and the filling will be thicker.
    • Egg washing the pastry will make them golden brown.
    • Allow the pie to rest for 1 hour for the filling to set before slicing.
