(im sure i make all of you go "awwwwwwww" haha)

apple pie recipe (:

Crust:
2 cups plain flour
3 tbsp caster sugar
150 g cold butter (chopped)
2-3 tbsp iced water


process flour, sugar and butter in a food processor until the mixture resemble fine breadcrumbs.
(for those of you who doesnt have food processor, using your hands is fine too.just rmmbr to wash it.keep it cold so that the butter doesnt melt)
add enough iced water to form a smooth dough.
knead the dough lightly, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

filling:
8 green apples, peeled and chopped
1 tbsp water
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp almond meal

preheat the oven to 190 C

to make filling:
place apples and water in deep frying pan over medium heat.
cover and simmer shaking the pan occasionally, for 5 mins or until just tender.
drain.
cool completely.
stir in sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon.

divide the pastry into two-thirds and one-third.
roll out the two-thirds portion on a lightly floured surface until 3 mm thick.
place in a shallow 24 cm pie tin.
sprinkle over almond meal, pack the apples tightly into pastry shell.
roll out the remaining pastry to fit over the top of the pie.
brush the rim with water, press the edges together and trim.
cut several slits on top of the pastry.
brush with lightly beaten egg, sprinkle with sugar.
bake 30 mins.

(alternatively, make mini apple pies using muffin tins because it is very hard to roll out one big pastry.or maybe it's just me.i dont have the strength.haha)

so yeah (:
