Introduction
Ah, apple pie. The sweet aroma of cinnamon and warm apples mingling together in a flaky crust is simply irresistible. As a Swedish chef, I have had the pleasure of perfecting my own version of this classic American dessert. In this recipe, I will share with you my secret family recipe for Swedish apple pie that never fails to impress.
Ingredients
- 6-8 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly.
- Roll out one pie crust onto a lightly floured surface. Place it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently against the bottom and sides.
- Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.
- Dot the top of the apple mixture with the cold butter pieces.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the apple mixture. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg.
- Create a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
