A Warm Apple Pie for your Family
A pie is a baked dish which is usually made of a pastry dough shell that covers or completely contains a filling of various sweet or savory ingredients. Although, there are several kinds of pie, an Apple Pie is amongst the famous pies in the Philippines. It is a fruit pie (or tart) in which the principal filling ingredient is apples (Cooking Apples). Pastry is generally used top-and-bottom, making a double-crust pie, the upper crust of which may be a pastry lattice woven of strips; exceptions are deep-dish apple pie with a top crust only, and open-face Tarte Tatin.
Ingredients:
6 green apples
1 cup sugar
4 tbsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. salt
2 recipes Plain Pastry
Pare apples, and then cut in eights. Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; mix with the apples. Divide pastry into two parts. Roll 1 part and fit loosely into pie plate. Arrange apples on pie plate, dot with bits of butter, then moisten the edges of crust with water. Roll the remaining crust and cover apples. Seal and trim edges. Make several slits on top of pie. Brush over with beaten egg.
Bake pie in a hot oven for about 10 minutes. Reduce heat and bake for 40 minutes more.
4 tbsp. orange juice may be sprinkles over apples before putting top crust. Use grated orange rind instead of cinnamon.
