just wanna share some old time favorite recipe with u guys! hope u enjoy! :))
1 step "THE CRUST" heee :D or in other words its called the short crust pastry..
u will need :
2 1/2 cups (350 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon (30 grams) granulated white sugar
1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, chilled, and cut into 1 inch (2.54 cm) pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 - 120 ml) ice water
how to prepare :- By using a mixer,place the flour, salt, and sugar and process until combined.
- Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal (about 15 seconds).
- Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) water in a slow, steady stream, until the dough just holds together when pinched. If necessary, add more water.
** Do not process more than 30 seconds.
- Turn the dough onto your work surface and gather into a ball.
- Divide the dough in half, flattening each half into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about one hour before using.
** This will chill the butter and relax the gluten in the flour.
- After the dough has chilled sufficiently, remove one portion of the dough from the fridge and place it on a lightly floured surface.
- Roll the pastry into a 12 inch (30 cm) circle. (To prevent the pastry from sticking to the counter and to ensure uniform thickness, keep lifting up and turning the pastry a quarter turn as you roll (always roll from the center of the pastry outwards)
- Fold the dough in half and gently transfer to a 9 inch (23 cm) pie pan.
- Brush off any excess flour and trim the edges of the pastry to fit the pie pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
- Then remove the second round of pastry and roll it into a 12 inch (30 cm) circle.
- Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator.
2 step "The Filling" :DDD
2 1/2 pounds (1.1 kg) apples (about 6 large), peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 8 cups sliced) (about 900 grams sliced)
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated white sugar
1/4 cup (55 grams) light brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
black raisin ( as many as u like )
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon (15 grams) cornstarch (corn flour) ( to make the filling thick)
how to do :
- melt the butter and add the all the sugar, salt, and lemon juice until it mix well.
- then add all the apples and let it simmer for a while ( to let the juice mix with the sauce )
- after it has combined add the cinnamon and dark raisin
- then add the corn flour ( dont add too much because we dont want it to be so thick )
3rd step " THE BAKING "
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C)
