Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

250 g all-purpose flour (125 g cake flour and 125 g bread flour)
150 g butter, cut into smaller pieces
1 egg yolk
1 splash milk
30 g sugar
3 tablespoons cranberry jam, or
3 tablespoons rose-hip jam
750 g apples, peeled, thinly sliced (with grater)
2 tablespoons brown sugar, to taste
1 grated lemon, zest of
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons rum
3 eggs, yolks separated from the whites
30 g sugar
60 g bread flour

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine the flour, butter, egg yolk, a splash of milk and sugar. Knead all ingredients to a firm dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile prepare the topping dough: beat egg yolks with sugar until light and foamy. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg white mixture and flour alternately into the yolk mixture.
  • Roll short-crust dough on a lightly floured counter to a rectangle the size of the parchment paper lined baking pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with the dough, tap with fingers into place.
  • Evenly cover the dough with grated apples, sprinkle with brown sugar, lemon zest, ground cinnamon and rum.
  • Top the apples with the light topping dough and bake the pie in the oven at 200°C for about 45 minutes.
  • Cool the pie in the baking pan, cut into equal sized square pieces and dust with powdered sugar (optional).

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my apple pie turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

The filling for this apple pie was delicious, but the crust was a little too thick for my taste. I think I'll try using a different crust recipe next time.

This apple pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll cut back on the sugar next time.
