Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

3 tbsps of flour (all-purpose)
1 tsp of lemon rind (fresh); grated finely
1/2 tsp of cinnamon (ground)
1/4 tsp of allspice (ground)
2/3 c & 1 Tbsp of sugar (white)
1/8 tsp of salt
1 Tbsp of lemon juice (fresh)
1 pc of egg (large); beaten lightly
Pastry doug
2-1/2 lbs of apples; cored, peeled then cut to wedges

Instructions:

Preheat the oven at 425 degrees F. Place the cooking sheet inside (rack is in the middle).

To make the filling, combine salt, flour, cinamon, zest, allspice, (2/3 cup) sugar; whisk thoroughly. Add (lemon) juice and apples; toss gently.

Roll a piece of the dough above a floured board and flatten to a 13 inch round. Fit it to a 9 inch pie dish, trim its edges but leave half an inch overhang. Place inside the refrigerator.

Roll the rest of the dough above a floured board and flatten to an 11 inch round.

Scoop the filling onto the crust; cover it with the 11 inch round; trim using (kitchen) shears but leave half an inch overhang. Seal the edges by pressing gently and crimp attractively.

Gently brush the top with an egg then sprinkle the rest of the sugar then poke holes on top using a fork.

Bake on the hot sheet for twenty mins then reduce the heat to 375 degrees F. Continue baking till the crust turns golden, or about forty more mins. Allow to cool for 2-4 hours.
