Selam Everybody.... Merhaba from Turkey...
We love pie especially fruit pie as dessert and tea time. And this mini apple pie is the best apple pie for our tea time. Serve individually with vanilla ice cream or simple whipped cream then flush with the syrup from the filling...hmmm...just heavenly yummy.
For pie shells
- 125 gr cold butter, cut into small chunks
- 180 gr all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp almond essence
- 75~85 very cold water
- Combine flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Add in butter pieces and start to mix with pastry cutter until butter become smaller pieces and crumble among that flour. Slowly add cold water and lightly mix it with your hand. You may not use all your water, so add it carefully.
- Transfer that crumbled dough over counter and start to knead lightly to pull them together. In this stage you may add small amount of cold water, if you do, add it a spoon at a time. It's okay the dough slightly crumble, as long as you can form them into big ball you don't have to add more water.
- Flatten the dough into a disk then wrap with plastic film. Fridge it at least 2 hours before use.
For filling:
- about 600 gr apple, thinly slice
- 100~130 gr brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- about 3 tbsp water
- 25 gr butter (about 2 tbsp)
- Melt butter in a pan / skillet. Add in apple sliced, sugar, cinnamon, ground nutmeg and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat just until apple slightly soft (but not mushy) and sugar dissolved about 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it sit to room temperature. Strain apple from the syrup.
- Lightly heat the syrup until thicken a bit. Use it for serving later.
- brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk beat lightly with 1 tsp oil
Making the pie:
Take the crust dough and roll it over lightly floured counter, roll it about 2~4 mm thick, cut into circle (larger than your tart pie tin). Then line your fluted pie tart tin with the dough, roll some dough also for the covers.
Pre heat oven at 180ºC. Fill with pie filling and cover, patching the edges then make small cross cut on top of it. Arrange them on baking tray. Brush them with egg yolk and sprinkle some brown sugar.
Bake them 25~ 30 minutes and until they golden brown and bubbling can be seen at cutting part. Remove from oven and let it cool to room temperature.
Serve with cream or ice cream and flush with the apple syrup.
