Рецепт простого пирога

Answer 1

Відповідь:Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced

1/2 cup granulated sugar

Pinch of salt

4-5 tablespoons cold water

For the Filling:

4-5 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions:

For the Crust:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Add the chilled, diced butter and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together.

Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

For the Filling:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.

In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour.

Add the sugar mixture to the sliced apples, ensuring they are well coated.

Assembling the Pie:

Roll out two-thirds of the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish.

Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish, pressing it gently into the corners.

Spoon the apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Roll out the remaining dough to create the pie's top crust. You can either place it as a whole crust on top or create a lattice pattern.

Trim the excess dough, press the edges together to seal, and crimp the edges with a fork.

Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Allow the pie to cool for a while before serving. Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
