Apple Pie

Tools

• Oven (180°C)
• Baking paper
• I strongly suggest a peeler

Ingredients

• 300g flour
• 150g white sugar
• 150g room temperature butter
• 4 eggs
• a bit of orange zest (roughly a table spoon)
• 4 tangy apples (I use Jazz variety)
• 12g of baking powder
• a splash of brandy (roughly 15ml but it depends on your taste)
• few table spoons of brown sugar
• [OPTIONAL] for serving, vanilla ice cream

Directions

• Take the butter out of the fridge (I am sure you forgot to take it out earlier)
• Pre-heat oven (not ventilated) at 180°C
• Weigh all the remaining ingredients
• Mix all the ingredients except apples and brown sugar
• Peel and coarsely dice the apples (roughly 1cm)
• Add the apples to the mix
• Put some baking paper on the bottom of the baking tin
• Poor the mix in a cake tin (it’s better if you can open the sides for easier removal)
• Sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar on top (this will provide a nice crunchy top)
• Bake for 40’ (or until you see the cake starts getting too brown on top)
• Before taking out of the oven I suggest putting the tip of a knife deep inside the center of the cake and check that when you take it out there is no raw dough stuck on it
• Let cool down a bit and then open the baking tin
