- Hey everyone, it's Natasha of Natashaskitchen.com.
-
And today I'm gonna teach you how to make
-
what is probably the most iconic pie of all time.
-
It is a homemade apple pie.
-
This one is loaded with apples.
-
Now the process is a little different and it'll surprise you
-
but you're going to love the results.
-
So let's get started.
-
We'll start with the sauce for the filling.
-
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat
-
and melt an eight tablespoons of unsalted butter.
-
Stir in three tablespoons of flour and let that simmer
-
for about a minute whisking constantly.
-
Next, whisk in 1/4 cup of water and 3/4 cup of sugar.
-
Bring that to a boil then reduce the heat
-
and continue simmering for about
-
three minutes stirring occasionally.
-
This sauce is the secret ingredient.
-
It literally takes less than five minutes
-
but will transform your pie.
-
When it's done,
-
it'll have a light caramel sauce consistency.
-
Take it off the heat and let it cool
-
while you prep your apples.
-
You'll need six to seven Granny Smith apples
-
or you can use your favorite tart crisp apple.
-
All of the apples together weighed two and a quarter pounds.
-
Peel all of your apples then cut them in a half
-
and remove the course.
-
To remove the course you can either use a small paring knife
-
or an apple coring tool, or you can use a melon baller
-
like this one and I'll leave a link to this in the notes.
-
Once the apples are all peeled and cored thinly slice them.
-
You should get about seven cups of thinly sliced apples.
-
Transfer the apples to a large mixing bowl
-
and sprinkle the top with one and a half teaspoons
-
of ground cinnamon.
-
Stir to evenly coat the apples with cinnamon.
-
Next, add all of that sauce that you made earlier
-
and make sure you get every last drop.
-
Stir in the sauce to coat the apples
-
and I'm telling you it's so worth it
-
to spend the extra five minutes to make this sauce,
-
for the most incredible apple pie filling.
-
I'm using our favorite homemade easy all butter pie crust
-
that I've been chilling in the refrigerator.
-
This pie crust is incredible and I will leave a link
-
to the video tutorial in the notes.
-
Sprinkle your work surface generously with flour
-
and roll out your first pie crust.
-
Roll that first crust to about a 12 inch diameter circle.
-
If you find the dough is sticking to your rolling pin,
-
sprinkle on just a little more flour.
-
The easiest way to transfer this into the pie pan
-
is to wrap it around your rolling pin gently
-
and use a food scraper to loosen the dough
-
in case it gets stuck to the surface.
-
Now simply unwrap it into a clean pie plate.
-
Mold that gently into the plate
-
and you should have a little bit of dough
-
hanging over the edges.
-
Add all of the apple mixture
-
mounting it slightly in the center.
-
And be careful not to get the feeling
-
on the edges of the dough
-
which will make it difficult to seal.
-
Set that aside, then roll the second crust
-
on a floured surface,
-
but this time just to about an 11 inch round circle.
-
I found that if you push the edges in like this,
-
it'll roll into a much more even circle,
-
which is important because we're going to be making
-
strips out of this for the lattice topping.
-
Also, if you're curious,
-
this is called a French rolling pin, and it is my favorite.
-
I will leave a link to this in the notes.
-
Using your favorite pizza cutter,
-
cut 10 even thickness strips.
-
Making a lattice topping is easier than you think.
-
Take one of the long strips from the center
-
and place it across the middle of your pie.
-
The first five strips should be in one direction
-
across your pie with the longer strips in the center
-
and the shorter ones towards the edges.
-
Peel back the second and fourth strips
-
and place one large strip down the center.
-
Now peel back the alternating strips
-
and add another strip of dough.
-
Continue doing this on the right and then the left
-
until all of your lattice is complete.
-
Place any remaining scraps of dough
-
around the edges of the pan where needed.
-
Tuck the excess pie dough into the pan around the edges.
-
Once all of the edges are tucked in,
-
you can crimp or flute the edges of the pie dough.
-
And this process is so easy
-
but will make your pie look super fancy.
-
Push the dough in with one finger on one hand
-
and pinch around it with two fingers on the other hand.
-
Pat the edges down slightly
-
so that they don't brown too much in the oven.
-
Next beat together one egg and a tablespoon of sugar
-
and brush that egg wash generously
-
over all of the surface of the dough.
-
This will add a beautiful color
-
to your pie while it's baking.
-
Transfer that to the center of a preheated oven
-
and bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
-
Without opening the door,
-
reduce the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
-
and continue baking another 45 minutes
-
or until the apples are soft and the filling
-
is bubbling through the vents at the top.
-
Oh, pie.
-
Sweet apple pie.
-
You will not believe how good my kitchen smells right now.
-
And once this comes out of the oven,
-
you want to give it at least an hour to rest,
-
you want those apple juices to thicken up.
-
So that way when you cut into it,
-
it doesn't slide all over the place
-
and you won't burn your mouth.
-
That's important.
-
Been there, done that.
-
Okay, so we're gonna let this rest.
-
(upbeat music)
-
All right, our pie has been resting, it's just barely warm.
-
And honestly that's the hardest part is the waiting
-
because you just want to jump right in
-
and do the taste test.
-
But that's exactly what we're going to do right now
-
because we have been patient for long enough.
-
Okay, so big slice for me, here we go.
-
Okay, that is a big piece.
-
But that doesn't surprise you, right?
-
You've watched enough of our videos.
-
Okay, here we go.
-
Yum!
-
And you can see the slice holds together.
-
It's not sliding apart, this filling is amazing.
-
Okay, lets get that on to our plate.
-
I'm really excited.
-
This is the pie that everyone needs to make this autumn.
-
It looks fantastic.
-
Okay, cool.
-
Let me taste it first.
-
That is worth every second.
-
Fantastic.
-
Just that little bit of cinnamon
-
really amps up the apple flavor.
-
And I love this sweet tart apples,
-
they're perfectly sweetened.
-
This is wonderful.
-
And to be very honest,
-
I love the crust just as much as I love the filling.
-
I mean it's flaky, buttery, really easy to make.
-
And make sure that you watch our video
-
on how to make this crust.
-
Super simple, just a few ingredients, but wow.
-
It is just like pastry perfection.
-

-
