Apple Pie - Step-by-Step Instructions 4 (Creating The Apple Pie)

Apple Pie - roll out the dough


Get your favorite 9 inch pie pan or pie dish.





Using a rolling pin roll out about two thirds of the dough.
Roll it out to a 1/2 cm (1/5 inch) thickness and until it is large enough to cover the pie dish with a little extra to spare.
Make sure you have dusted the working surface with some flour to prevent the dough from sticking.

Lift the dough gently and flop it over the pie pan and set into place.
Ease the dough all around the pie dish and into the dip.
Now you can add the filling or alternately freeze the pie shell for later use,


Spread the filling evenly into the pie shell.






Optional: Add a final sprinkling of sugar onto the apple filling. This really depends on how sweet the apple filling is or how sweet your tooth.

Apple Pie - Step-by-Step Instructions 3 (Pie Dough)

Pie dough (sweet shortcrust pastry dough)


To make the pie dough scale 8 oz (225g) of all purpose flour and 4 oz (110g) of margarine or butter.

Add a pinch of salt and 1 oz (25g) of sugar.

Using your hands rub the ingredients together until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.

Make a hollow circle in the powdered mix and ...

... add to this approx. 2 tablespoons (30ml) of water.

Now gently mix the water into the powdered mix until a paste is formed.

Note: Depending on the flour quality you may need to add a little more water or a bit more flour to reach the desired dough consistency.

Knead the dough until the consistency is smooth and neither too hard nor too soft. Roll it into a ball, wrap it in film and let it rest in the refrigerator for about an hour.

Storage: The dough could be prepared the day before and can be kept in the refrigerator for about 3 days.

Mixer: You could of course place everything into a food processor and mix it up that way if you prefer not to get your hands too dirty... :)
