Apple pie

1. Prepare the dough:

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and sugar.
  • Add the cold diced butter and rub it with the flour with your fingertips until you obtain a sandy texture.
  • Gradually add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
  • Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the filling:

  • Peel, core and cut the apples into thin slices.
  • In a bowl, mix the apple slices with the sugar, cinnamon (if using), lemon juice and flour. Reserve.

3. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

4. Roll out the dough:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a disk the size of your pie pan.
  • Transfer the dough to the buttered tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork.

5. Assemble the pie:

  • Arrange the prepared apple slices on the tart base, overlapping them slightly.
  • You can also create a decorative pattern with the apple slices.

6. Bake: Bake the apple pie in the preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

7. Cooling and service:

  • Let the apple pie cool slightly before unmolding it.
  • Serve it warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of crème fraîche.

This homemade apple pie is a classic, comforting treat. You can also personalize it by adding raisins, nuts or a touch of caramel for even more flavor. Treat yourself !
