A simple double crust apple pie

It's a quick and very autumny double crust apple pie with little sugar combined with sweetener and full wheat flour considering the number of family members who have diabetes. The dough is extremely easy to make and you only have to let it cool in the fridge for half an hour, then you can easily roll it. A thin layer of crust and lots of apple, this makes the perfect apple pie.




Ingredients:

The crust
  • 10 dkg of full wheat flour
  • 10 dkg of normal flour
  • 4 teaspoons of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 10 dkg of cold butter
  • cold water
  • ground cloves and cinnamon
  • 1 egg
The apple filling
  • at least 8 sourish apples
  • the zest of 1 lime
  • the juice of half a lime
  • sweetener
  • ground cinnamon
First of all make the crust. Measure the two types of flour, add the baking powder, the cloves and the cinnamon and the zest of lime. Mix it. Dice the butter and add it to the flour. Make a crumble with the butter and the flour and when it's done, add a bit of the cold water and start to knead. If needed, add some more water. It has to be a non sticky and flexible dough. Put it in the fridge for until the filling is being made. 

Peel the apples (which is almost every other time is unnecessary), cut the core out and slice them fine. Start cooking them in a pan and add the juice of the lime, the cinnamon and the sweetener. It takes about 10 minutes, depending on the type of the apples, to be done, you can put a lid on it too while cooking. When it's done, let it cool a bit. 

Get the pastry out of the fridge and roll it on a surface that has been sprinkled with flour before. Put it into your previously buttered dish and cut the surplus off at the edges. Knead these parts into a new ball again and roll it. With a beaten egg brush the edges of the pastry and lay the other layer of crust on it. Smooth the edges with a fork and brush the top of the pie with the rest of the beaten egg. Make a slash in the middle of the pie so that the steam can leave, and sprinkle with almond chips. Put it in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius until golden. It's perfect!
