Pie Topping
Procedure
Pie Crust
- Rub all flour, margarine, lard, and salt ingredients together until fine
breadcrumbs
- Add 2 tablespoons water to make a soft but firm dough
- Roll pastry on floured surface to the size you want your pie, make two
crusts
- Place one crust in pie pan
Everything Else
- Do not precook apples, as this will deprive the pie of a substantial
amount of flavour and turns the apples into goop!
- Peel and slice apples into 1/2cm - 1cm inch thick segments
- Add lemon juice to apple segments
- Mix apples by hand into 1/2 cup sugar and a few dashes of cinnamon.
- Transfer segments less acquired juices to pie pan. (This helps prevent the
pie from boiling over in the oven)
- Mix rest of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and cornstarch in a separate
bowl
- Pour over apples in pie pan
- Dot with butter
- Cover with the other crust of the pie
- Firm down edges with fork or finger
- Cut heart or diamond-shaped vents into top crust
- Brush the pastry top with milk and sprinkle additional sugar and cinnamon
over the top
- Bake at 175 degrees Celsius until golden brown
- Serve warm with ice cream or custard
Notes, tips, and variations
- Use a variety of apples to get a wider palate of flavours and textures
- Use 2-3 Granny Smith apples, in combination with the other apples.
- Replace the lard with shortening for a vegan dessert
