Ingredients
- 1 homemade shortcrust pastry , see note 1
- 1 pound apples (450 grams), see note 2
- ½ cup brown sugar (100 grams)
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 360 Fahrenheit/180 Celsius.
- Divide the pastry in 2 equally looking parts. Take one piece and roll it out thin. Transfer it to a 7 or 8-inch (18 or 20-centimeters) pie tin lined with baking paper and the sides greased with butter. Press the pastry down and to the sides (see note 3).
- Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile: Dice the apples. Place them in a mixing bowl with sugar. Mix well and set aside. Roll out the leftover pastry. Make sure it is wide enough to cover the cake tin.
- Fill the pre-baked pastry with apple mixture and cover with raw pastry. With a fork, press down around the edges to seal it. Brush the crust with egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water. Pierce the pastry several times so the steam can escape from the pie.
- Place back in the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the apples are soft and the top is nicely golden brown.
- Enjoy warm with a topping of your choice!

Notes
- You will need about 22 ounces/almost 1.5 pounds of pie pastry. When using my homemade shortcrust pastry, you will need 1 batch. Or store-bought that fits 7 or 8-inch pans (18-20 centimeter wide pans).
- Granny Smith or Pink Lady are great options, but you can use anything you have on hand. Just avoid using apples that are too mushy on the inside.
- Tip: If your pastry doesn’t cover the sides and rim – simply take some more and fill the gaps. Pierce the bottom with a fork.
