Homemade Apple Pie Recipe

My ultra-easy homemade pie recipe, thin and caramelized homemade dough, melting apples (generous filling), few ingredients… We’re not looking for visual perfection with this pie – although in the end, it’s hot, it looks rustic), so no stress. There is no need for a pie pan, just a baking sheet for the oven, some baking paper, and we shape the pie by hand, fold the edges over the apples, and most importantly, my tip… we brush a concrete mixture on the apples the pastry before baking.

Ingredients:

  • 250 g of flour
  • 100 g of cold butter
  • 1 pinch of fleur de sel
  • 4 tablespoons of sugar
  • 50 ml cold water
  • 50 g melted butter
  • 5 tbsp. brown sugar or vergeoise
  • 1 tsp. coffee cinnamon powder
  • 5 golden apples

Directions:

  1. Prepare the homemade pie dough: by hand or in a food processor, mix the flour, salt, cold butter, sugar.
  2. Then add cold water gradually until the ball forms.
  3. Put the dough in a cool place for 15 to 30 minutes while you prepare the apples.
  4. Skin the apples and slice them into thin strips.
  5. Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper with a rolling pin, sprinkle brown sugar over the dough
  6. Put the apples on top of the dough, leaving 5 cm of dough around them, which you fold over the apples.
  7. Prepare the mixture to brush: melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar, then with a brush, put on the pie and the edges of the dough.
  8. Bake at 180°C for 45 minutes. Don’t hesitate to pierce the pastry so that the juice from the apples can flow out a little if necessary and caramelize the pie.
