Apple pie
Serves 12
Pastry:
300 g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
200 g butter or margarine
100 g sugar
2 tsp vanilla sugar
1 egg
Topping:
1000 g sharp dessert or cooking
apples
50 g raisins
50 g caster sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
For glazing:
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp milk
Method
1. Mix the flour, baking powder, butter
or margarine, sugar, vanilla sugar and
egg together and knead to a smooth
dough. Press approx. 2/3 of the pastry
into the bottom of a greased and
floured springform cake tin (C 26 cm)
to make the base. Form a rim about 2
cm high around the edges of the tin.
Bake blind. (This is not necessary with
the Automatic programme).
2. Peel and core the apples, then either
dice or slice them. Steam them gently
in a saucepan together with the raisins,
sugar, cinnamon and 3 tablespoons of
water. Leave to cool and then place in
the (blind-baked) pastry case.
3. Roll the remaining pastry out on a
floured surface and place it over the
apples. Press the edges together, then
bake. About 10 minutes before the end,
brush the surface with a mixture of milk
and egg.
When using the Automatic
programme, you will need to glaze
the pie before it goes in the oven.
Do not open the door during baking.
