Apple Pie From Scratch
- 80 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 60 grams Cake flour
- 80 grams Shortening
- 1 Water
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 Apples
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tsp to 2 tablespoons depending (to taste). Cinnamon
- 1 dash amount (to taste) Allspice
- 1/2 Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Corn starch
- 1 Panko
- 1 to 2 block Butter to your likeing
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup to your likeing
- Peel the skin of the apple and cut into quarter round.
- Add all ingredients from sugar to corn starch and massage in the ingredients with your hands.
- Put the dry ingredients and salt into a bowl and add the shortening.
- Use a card or a fork to mix like cutting it.
- Once the lumps of shortening are gone, add about 1/4 cups of water and mix quickly like holding a base ball.
- It would be ready when it becomes into one clump.
- If it is still apart, add a little bit more water and continue mixing.
- When it becomes one clump, dust the surface with flour as you work and roll it out.
- Roll it out into a rectangle shape.
- Fold about 1/3 of both upper and lower ends and roll out.
- I think it would be fine if you repeat this folding and rolling just a few times.
- Cut the puff pastry into 3/5 (the lower part) and to 2/5 (the upper part).
- Roll out both puff pastry into a round shape.
- Spread the bigger puff pastry on the tart cake pan and spread bread crumbs on it.
- Do not cut off the edge of the puff pastry because you will fold it in when you place the puff pastry for the covering.
- Put all the apple filling in, if it becomes a big mound and even it out the as much as possible.
- Pour in the juice remaining in the bowl too.
- Place the puff pastry for covering which is a little bit bigger that the tart cake pan on gently.
- Fold the puff pastry of the down part puff pastry like covering the edge and seal it.
- To seal it firmly, make a pattern on the edge for one round using a fork.
- Make a cut to release the steam while baking and drop butter and maple syrup to the cut to your liking.
- You can also brush on egg on the surface for the glaze.
- Bake in a 210C preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
- It will be more crispy and crunchy when the pie has a nice golden brown color.
- If you can't finish eating and have some remaining, bake it in an oven which is about 180C for about 10 minutes, then it will have the crispy texture again.
