Yes, I'm a beginner! You can tell from the pie crust I made! Ha...
But I promise this recipe is quite a good one and you should give it a try!
Pie Crust:
2 c of low protein flour2/3 c of margarine
2 Tbs of butter
3-4 Tbs refrigerated water
How to:
1. Put the flour on the table surface.
2. Put the margarine and butter in the middle. Cut the margarine into small cubes using pastry spatula.
3. Using hand, mix them until sandy.
4. Add the water, if needed you can add another 1-2 Tbs until you can form a rough dough. Divide into two balls.
5. Roll on top of a fabric, plastic or pastry paper into a square or round form. Then transfer it to the pie bowl. This should be enough for 2 medium pie skins. (But for a large square you need 2 recipes)
6. Don't forget to make holes on it using a fork.
6-7 Granny Smith Apples, sliced (skined and sliced)
Mix with:
1/2 c sugar/brown sugar
a pinch of salt
1 Tbs maize
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 Tbs lemon juice
How to:
1. Pour this filling into the the pie skin.
2. Add 2 Tbs of Butter.
3. Close with the other skin. Don't forget to make some holes, to make sure it has opening for the steam to escape. As for me, I used cookie cutter to make some cute holes. And I put the cut dough onto the pie skins to decorate it. Smear the top with egg yolk.
4. Bake at 240°C for 10 mins. Then, turn down the temperature to 180°C and continue to bake for another 45 mins.
Happy baking!!
