Pie Crust
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1 tsp fine salt
- 1 bar butter, cut into small cubes
- ½ cup cold water
- ½ tsp vinegar
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour for dusting
- 1 tsp butter for greasing
Pie Filling
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup Nestlé All Purpose Cream
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- 6 pcs apple, peeled and sliced
- ½ tbsp cinnamon powder
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 pc small egg, beaten for egg wash
- Pre-heat oven to 350ᴼF.
- For the crust, combine flour, sugar, salt and butter. Mix with finger tips until small pea-size butter is achieved. Mix water and vinegar. Slowly mix in with the flour mixture using finger tips. Knead until just combined. Divide into 2 portions, form into a ball and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Melt butter in a pan. Stir in brown sugar, Nestlé All Purpose Cream and salt. Gently heat for 2 minutes while mixing. Transfer into a large bowl to slightly cool.
- Add apple slices, cinnamon powder and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
- Dust the one of the dough with flour and roll into a round 2-inch bigger than the pie pan. Grease a 7-inch pie with butter. Place the rolled out dough and lightly press evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie pan. Roll out the other dough and cut into ¾-inch strips.
- Spread the apple mixture on the pie crust. Cover with strips of dough making a lattice pattern. Seal the sides with a fork. Brush with eggwash and bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
