This is a very basic apple pie recipe that I threw together. I love the different flavors of more complex recipes, but often times I just want a pie, and only a pie. Hopefully this will help your need for quick simplicity as well! Ingredients:
6 apples |
3 tablespoons water |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 cups flour |
1/2 cup butter (one stick, soft) |
5 tablespoons water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons sugar |
Directions:
1. Wash apples and cut into 1/8 slices.
2. Cover and simmer in a medium sauce pan for 10 minutes with 2 tbsp of water over medium heat.
3. Dissolve 1 tsp of cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water.
4. Add the cornstarch mixture to the apple slices with the sugar and cinnamon. Stir over heat for 5 more minutes, until sugar is dissolved and the liquid is thickened and bubbly. Set aside.
5. For the crust, in a large bowl mix together flour and salt.
6. Cut in the butter, mixing well with a fork until crumbs form (don't use a spoon, it won't turn out as well).
7. Add the water, one tbsp at a time until the crumbs start forming together.
8. Turn ontil a lightly floured surface and shape the dough into two balls. Roll each ball out into a circle, about 10-12 inches.
9. Press one of the circles into a 9 inch pie pan, add the filling, and place the second dough circle on top, pinching and trimming the edges to seal.
10. Cut 2-4 slits around the middle of the pie to vent, and sprinkle the sugar on top to garnish. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for 45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
