Name: Apple Pie
Prep time: 24 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 54 min
Yield: 1 pie
Cuisine: french
Ingredients: 300 g Puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée); 750 g apple; 2 tablespoons caster sugar; 1 teaspoon Vanilla sugar; 1 beaten egg

Step by step recipe:

5 min.
Roll out 300 g Puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée), if not ready-rolled, into 2 identical circles.

Line a tart tin or mould with one.

If your pastry came with a sheet of cooking parchment, leave this in place in the bottom of the tin.
2 min.
Fold the pastry over the edge of the tin, leaving an overhang of about 1/4 inch (1/2 cm).

Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C).
7 min.
Peel 750 g apple, slice into half-rounds (like in the photo) and fill up the pastry case.
1 min.
Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons caster sugar and 1 teaspoon Vanilla sugar over.
3 min.
Prepare the second circle of pastry: make a small hole in the centre to let the steam escape during cooking, then use a brush to moisten around the edge with cold water.
2 min.
Moisten around the rim of the pie case as well.

This will help the pastry "lid" to stick.
2 min.
Place the second pastry circle on top of the first so that the moistened edges are in contact.

Seal the edges by pressing with your fingers, then trim off any excess pastry.
2 min.
Finish by glazing the top of the pie with beaten egg.
30 min.
Bake, preferably low down in the oven, for about 30 minutes.

Leave to cool slightly before taking the pie out of the tin.

Remarks:

Use slightly sharp apples if you can, or add a little lemon juice with the sugar.

If serving the pie warm, make it extra delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a little chantilly cream.
