Classic Apple Pie

🍰 Desserts

Lattice-topped apple pie with cinnamon juices bubbling at the vents. Rustic, crisp-edged and comforting — the dessert that empties the table quietly. A slice of sharp cheese alongside is old-school and excellent.

Prep 37 min Cook 53 min Serves 10 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Ground Cinnamon1 tsp
  • Shortcrust Pastry1 cup, chopped
  • Apple2 cups, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Work quickly with chilled butter so it stays in visible flakes through the dough.

  2. 2

    Toss the butter through the flour, add just enough cold water to hold, and press into a disc.

  3. 3

    Rest the dough, wrapped, in the fridge for at least thirty minutes — relaxed dough will not shrink.

  4. 4

    Fold the apple and shortcrust pastry through the dough until evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Bake until the crust is browned and the filling bubbles at the vents, 35-50 minutes, then rest twenty minutes.

Chef's tip

Weigh your flour if you can; cup measures can be off by twenty percent either way.
