APPLE PIE FROM SHORT DOUGH “Dream” - STEP-BY-STEP RECIPE

First, let's prepare the dough.

Place soft butter in a bowl and lightly beat it with a mixer or carefully grind it with a whisk.

Add a pinch of salt, sugar and mix.

Then add the egg yolks in 2 additions, continuing to stir, no need to beat too much.

Mix dry products separately.

Since everyone’s flour is different, I took a little more than according to the recipe and will put it aside right away, maybe it won’t be needed.

Add baking powder and vanillin to the sifted flour and mix the dry products.

Add some of the acquired consistency to the bowl and knead the dough.

While the mass is soft, you can stir with a mixer, then add the remaining flour and quickly knead the shortbread dough with your hands.

Once the dough has come together, transfer it to a floured work surface and knead for about another minute.

The shortbread dough is ready, it is very tender, we try to carefully roll it out into a layer according to the size of your mold, taking into account the height of the sides.

Carefully roll the dough onto a rolling pin and transfer it to a mold, I have an oval mold, measuring 22x32 cm, if you have a round mold, take a 26 cm diameter mold, which does not need to be greased with anything; in the latter case, cover it with parchment.

The dough is very soft and crumbly, don’t let that scare you.

Our task is to line the bottom and sides of the mold with dough, and you can do this without rolling it out, simply distributing it in an even layer over the entire inner surface, setting aside approximately 1/4 of the dough in advance, we will need it a little later.

How to make shortbread pie with apples in the oven - a recipe for apple pie made from shortcrust pastry with step-by-step photos

INGREDIENTS:

500 g flour
210 g cool butter
100 g sugar
3 egg yolks from huge eggs
80 g natural yoghurt
1 tsp. baking powder

3 huge apples (600 g)
30 ml apple juice or water
120 g sugar
20 g starch
20 ml lemon juice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg

1 tbsp. l. small breadcrumbs without additives
1 tbsp. l. sweet powder

COOKING METHOD:

Shortcrust pastry for apple pie

1. In order to bake shortbread pie with apples, we will first start making crumbly shortbread dough. To do this, sift the flour along with baking powder into a deep and wide bowl, add sugar and mix lightly.

2. Add cool butter, cut into small cubes, to the flour.

3. Quickly rub the flour and butter with your hands until large crumbs form. Add egg yolks and natural yogurt to the dough. Egg whites are not needed in this recipe, so you can freeze them in a plastic container for the future or make this tender and airy strawberry sambu from them.

4. Knead the dough briefly with your hands until all the ingredients begin to come together. If the dough suddenly turns out to be dry and very crumbly, then you should add another 1 - 2 tbsp. l. yogurt.

Delicate and crumbly shortcrust pastry for apple pie is ready! It should be divided into two unequal parts, rolled into balls and wrapped in cling film. Place 1/3 of the dough in the freezer and 2/3 of the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Apple interior for shortbread pie

5. While the dough is chilling, let's make the apple inside for the shortbread pie. To do this, peel the apples and cut them into small, not very thin slices.

6. Place the apples in a saucepan, sprinkle with spices, pour in apple juice and put on low heat.
If you don’t have apple juice on hand, you can replace it with plain water. 7. Simmer the apples for 10 minutes under the lid, then add sugar, mix carefully and cook for another 5 minutes.
8. Dilute potato or corn starch in lemon juice, pour into apples and cook for another 3 minutes.

9. The end result should be a thick interior like apple jam with tangible pieces of apples inside. The filling should be cooled in the refrigerator for 10 - 15 minutes.

Shortbread pie with apples

10. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a layer 5 – 7 mm wide.
11. Carefully roll the rolled out dough onto a rolling pin and transfer it to the mold, making small sides.
I had a tart pan with fluted sides, 25 cm in diameter. There was no need to grease the pan, because the shortcrust pastry contains a sufficient amount of butter. 12. Spread the apple filling sparingly onto the dough.
13. Remove the smallest part of the dough from the freezer and grate it on a large grater directly on top of the apple inside.
Smooth the surface of the pie and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. 14. Bake apple pie from shortcrust pastry in an oven preheated to 180°C for 35 - 40 minutes until browned.

It is better to cool the pie completely in the pan before taking it out and serving.
If desired, you can sprinkle it with sweet powder on top. The fragrant crumbly shortbread pie with apples is ready!

Shortbread pie with apples

I love this pie for the combination of delicious crumbly dough and apple-fragrant interior.
I don’t understand why, but specifically in this baking for us the apples are “like the freshest”, without heat treatment, although the baking time in the oven is quite long. Write down the recipe quickly and watch step-by-step explanations on how to prepare shortbread pie with apples and delight your loved ones at the next good moment) Ingredients (based on a mold 24 cm in diameter):

Large apples - 4 pcs. (it’s better to take sour or sweet and sour varieties)
Wheat flour - 2 cups (we use a 250 ml cup)
Chicken eggs - 2 pcs.
Sweet sand - 3/4 cup (if you like sweets, feel free to use a full glass)
Butter - 180 gr. + small amount for greasing the mold
Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
Cool water - 2 tbsp. spoons

How to cook:

Separate the egg yolks from the whites. At the moment, a huge number of devices are sold in order to create this correctly, you can purchase a similar device for your own kitchen or divide it the old fashioned way, by hand, the most important thing is to do it carefully so that not a drop of yolk gets into the whites (because, meringues are made from the whites may not be whipped).

Add sugar (half of 3/4 cup), salt on the tip of a knife (to taste). Stir with a whisk.

Then 180 gr. Add softened butter to the egg-sugar mixture. Stir until smooth (but it will not be possible to create a 100% homogeneous mixture the fastest, and this is normal for shortcrust pastry).

The next step is to add flour to the shortbread dough. Using a sieve, sift the flour and baking powder in parts, stirring evenly and controlling the thickness of the dough.

We will need to gather all the dough into a ball. To do this you will need to pour in 2 tbsp. spoons of ice water and continue kneading with your hands. Try not to knead the dough (like yeast dough for buns with sugar, for example) or for oven pies with apples, but simply combine all the pieces of dough into one ball.

A ball of soft shortcrust pastry comes out.

We separate one third of the dough from the full amount and put it in the refrigerator (or better yet, in the freezer for 15-20 minutes).

We place the remaining part in the middle of the baking sheet in which we will bake the pie. Line the mold/baking tray with baking paper, grease with vegetable oil and sprinkle with flour, shake off excess flour.

Using your hands, level the dough along the bottom of the pan in such a way that the lower part of the pie is formed with sides of 2-3 cm. If a hole accidentally forms, immediately seal it with a piece of dough taken from the side edge. It is necessary that the bottom of the pie is intact, without cracks or holes, otherwise the juice from the inside will leak out and ruin the whole thing.

Apple shortbread pie interior

Meanwhile, peel the apples, cut them into two halves, and cut out the core and seeds.

Grate the apples on a medium-mesh grater. The apples will immediately darken - nothing terrible. If this bothers you, you can sprinkle the apples with a little lemon juice.

You can add a little vanilla to the filling. There is no need to add sugar, because we will fill the apple filling with egg whites whipped with sugar.

Beat the egg whites with the remaining half of the sugar into a snow-white, shiny mass (it is absolutely necessary to beat until stiff, a rather snow-white and smooth mixture). Pour the whites into the apple filling and mix.

Forming an apple pie from shortcrust pastry

Place all the filling on the shortcrust pastry base and level it into the shape of the pie.

Sprinkle the surface of the pie with dough (which has been in the freezer all this time). We grate this piece of dough and place it on the surface of the pie. The inside of mine is not completely covered with dough, but if you want a thick coating, you can throw in more dough to cool.

Shortbread pie with apples is baked in an oven preheated to 180 C for 35-40 minutes. It is necessary to ensure that the inside is properly set and thickens on top, and the dough is browned.

A cooled apple pie is much tastier than a roast one, it is saturated with the aroma of apples and brings complete pleasure to everyone who tries it.

Bon appetit!
