Glazed Apple Shortcrust Pie

Very tasty tender dough with sourness. Try. I really liked this pie. The recipe is relevant especially in the summer-autumn period, when apples are harvested. The cooking process is simple, no special culinary skills are required. I don’t recommend making half a batch, because the pie goes away very quickly.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients needed for the dough. The butter should be well chilled from the refrigerator. Cut it into small cubes and place in a bowl. Sift 300 gr. flour, add and grind everything into crumbs. Add regular and vanilla sugar. Sugar can be replaced with a sweetener. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can use vanillin on the tip of a knife. Be careful with its dosage. If you overdo it with vanilla, it will give a bitter taste.

Step 2

Step 2
Add large chicken eggs. Before adding the baking powder, mix it with a small amount of flour, so it will be better distributed throughout the dough. Add the rest of the flour. Please note that there may be a little more or less flour than indicated. If necessary, add flour, focusing on the desired consistency of the dough. It should turn out soft, elastic, and not stick to your hands. Gather it into a ball, wrap it in cling film and hide it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 3

Step 3
Which apples to choose? Sweet and sour, juicy fruits are best. Wash them, peel them and cut into thin small slices. Or they can be grated on a special grater using just the plates.

Step 4

Step 4
Sprinkle lemon juice over the apple slices to prevent them from browning. Place them in a suitable container and microwave for 2 minutes to soften them a little.

Step 5

Step 5
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Divide it into 2 parts. Roll out one part on oiled parchment paper through film. The size of the layer must correspond to the size of the mold. I use a 26 x 35 cm ovenproof dish with high sides.

Step 6

Step 6
Along with parchment paper, transfer the dough into the pan. Fold the edges a little. Distribute the apples evenly. If the fruit variety is sour, you can sprinkle sugar on top.

Step 7

Step 7
Roll out the second layer of dough on paper in the same way. Place it on top of the apples (without paper). Carefully pinch the edges so that there are no holes, otherwise the apple juice will leak out and burn during baking.

Step 8

Step 8
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the pie for about 45 minutes. Focus on the characteristics of your equipment, changing the time and temperature as necessary.

Step 9

Step 9
When the top of the cake is browned, check its readiness with a wooden toothpick. Take out the form. Cool the baked goods. Drizzle glaze on top. How to cook? In a small container, mix powdered sugar with boiled water at room temperature. Add water gradually, bringing the mixture to the desired consistency. The glaze should be quite thick, not runny.
