Directions: Proper British Apple Pie Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.Start by making the pastry crust. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and cold cubed butter. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  • STEP 2.Add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • STEP 3.Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Roll out two-thirds of the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use it to line a pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the base with a fork.
  • STEP 4.Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Arrange the apple mixture in the pastry-lined dish.
  • STEP 5.Roll out the remaining pastry and use it to cover the apple filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Make a few slits on the top to allow steam to escape.
  • STEP 6.Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • STEP 7.Serve the Proper British Apple Pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips

  • Make sure the butter and water used for the pastry crust are cold to achieve a flaky texture.
  • Pricking the base of the pastry with a fork prevents it from puffing up during baking.
  • Allowing the pie to cool slightly before serving helps the filling set and makes it easier to slice.
