Dutch apple pie

Ingredients

- 300 gram all-purpose flour
- 125 gram soft brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 175 gram butter, in little pieces
- 1 egg
- 1 kg apples
- 60 grams white (granulated) sugar
- cinnamon
- 100 gram walnuts

Directions

Preparation

- Spread butter on the inside of the baking tin. Sieve the flour with the soft brown sugar and the salt above the bowl. Add the butter and mix it until it has a crumbly mixture. Add the egg and form a ball.

- Save 1/3 of the dough for the top and wrap it in plastic foil. Press the rest of the dough on the bottom and sides of the baking tin. Put away the baking tin and the dough ball in the fridge for 30 minutes.

- In the meantime make the filling: peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them in little pieces. Mix it together with the white sugar and the cinnamon (as much cinnamon as you like). Fill the pie up with the apples and put it back into the frigde.


After 30 minutes of rest

- Preheat the oven to 175 °C. Place the grid on the lowest position of the oven.

- Roll out the dough ball and make long lines. Flat them a little bit and place them crosswise over the apple filling.

- Place the baking tin in the oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes until it is done and gold brown.

- Let the pie cool down for 1 hour until it feels solid/robust.
