Typically, the preparation of such a pie takes a lot of time precisely because of the use of sand base, but if you want to save time, then prepare it in advance (it is well amenable to freezing) or use a semi-finished product.
Apple pie - recipe
Let's look at the basic recipe for the sand test, which can then be used at the heart of all subsequent recipes. No special differences from the classic shortcake this variation does not bear, therefore you can safely use any other recipe sand base.
Ingredients:
For the test:
- butter - 230 g;
- a pinch of sugar;
- flour - 345 g;
- water - 60 ml.
For filling:
- apples - 7 pieces;
- sugar - 65 g;
- cinnamon powder - 1 teaspoon;
- lemon juice - 15 ml;
- flour - 45 g;
- boiled condensed milk - 75 g.
Preparation
Since the short dough needs to be soaked before use, the preparation should begin with it. First, cold butter must be chopped with flour and a small amount of sugar in a crumb. Form the floury crumb mixture with ice water and collect the dough together. It does not need to be kneaded, just squeeze the components together well, wrap with a film and leave in the freezer for at least half an hour. Dough the chilled dough and roll it. Spread one of the halves on the bottom of the mold, covering also its walls.
For the apple filling, remove the core from the apples and divide the remainder into slices of equal thickness. Mix the apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, condensed milk and flour. The latter will absorb excess apple juice, saving the basis of the test from deoxidation. Lay the apple stuffing in a dough-covered form and cover everything with a second disc made from short-pastry. Make a hole in the lid of the pie to exit the steam, and the edges snap together.
Bake the classic apple pie for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 190 degrees.
