Cinnamon Apple Pie

Therefore, this recipe is one of my top three. The filling is already cooked when I put it in the oven. And, this gives a very homogeneous, almost like a jam texture. For that reason, this recipe is a very good dessert for coffee time. Also, it is very easy to prepare it and it requires very little cooking knowledge. So, get yourself some apples, and let's start baking!

1. Take a bowl and put the flour and a pinch of salt. Mix with the butter, while adding the water slowly
2. Then, add the lemon zest and the brown sugar
3. Knead until dough is firm and everything is well incorporated
4. In the end, if the dough is too sticky, add a bit of extra flour
5. Then, cover with plastic and save in the fridge for later

1. Firstly, take the apples, wash them, peel them, and cut in slices
2. Secondly, take the cooking pan and then add apples, cinnamon, sugar, brown sugar, the clove, and vanilla branch, butter, and apple juice
3. Thirdly, cook all of the ingredients at medium-high heat until it all mixes up (about 10 min) and the apples are still firm
4. Lastly, let it cool in a bowl and remove the vanilla branch

1. Separate the dough for the crust in two pieces - one half for the bottom and the other half to make a lattice top
2. Put the crust in a pie pan
3. When the apple mix is cool, fill the pie with the mix
4. Then, finish the top with the crust
5. Roll the dough on a circle shape, cutting the dough into even strips
6. Then, layout four to seven parallel strips of the pie dough on top of the filling
7. Do the same on the opposite side to create a lattice pie crust pattern

1. Let the pie cool in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes
2. After that, 20 minutes later, when the pie is ready, beat the egg yolk in a small bowl
3. Then, brush the top of the pie with egg yolk and sprinkle a little bit of brown sugar
4. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 45 min until it browns a little

Enjoy with vanilla ice cream!
