The recipe is really nothing special since apple pie is such a basic, vibes-based dessert, and I’m probably mostly typing this as a further procrastination tactic, but in case anyone is interested:
Preheat your oven to 220 C
For the oil pastry:
>2 cups flour or flour blend (I use all purpose + Besan) 1/2 cup milk (I use soymilk) 1/2 oil (I used canola) 1/2 to 1 tsp salt (I usually eyeball this)
This makes enough for a top and bottom crust. You may have to add a bit more liquid or flour depending on what sort of flour you use.
Take half, knead the dough and roll out the pastry and add the bottom crust as usual. A tip I like is folding it into quarters, moving it into the dish and unfolding. WAY easier than trying to drape the thing whole lol.
For the filling:
>6-8 small apples or equivalent amount of other-sized apples.
>1/4 cup each flour and sugar
>A healthy pep or three of cinnamon
1. Wash the apples. I don’t usually peel them but you can if you want, I’m not your mom. 2. Core and quarter the apples, and then slice each quarter into thin slices. I try to get them as thin and even as I can but don’t stress if they’re thicker or uneven. 3. Mix the flour, sugar and cinnamon and put the mix in a shaker. 4. Put down the first layer of apples. Don’t feel the need to get fancy if you don’t want to, as long as you make a full layer. 5. Take the shaker and liberally dust the apple layer with your flour mixture. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you’ve used all your apples and/or filled up the pie dish to your satisfaction. 7. Add a top crust, to whatever configuration you prefer. Decorations can be adhered with a little bit of the wash on the backs of them to help.
For the wash:
>2 tbsp milk (I use soymilk)
>1 tbsp syrup (I used date syrup this time, mostly because I hate the stuff on its own so I’ve been finding excuses to use it instead of maple syrup in recipes)
8. With a pastry brush, brush the wash on your crust. Honestly this is optional. I don’t bother half the time and it’s fine.
Bake for 15 minutes at 220 C, and 30-45 minutes at 180 C. Use your judgement. If you have a tiny oven like I do you will probably need to put some foil on top after 10 or 15 minutes so it doesn’t brown too much.

They had two bags of apples half off the other day so I bought them and then ofc they needed to be used right away, so, pie!
Now, I had a lot of work to do for my actual paying job yesterday so of course it was very important to instead really take my time with the pie and I decided to get fancier than I usually do with the crust.
It turned out great, and it tastes great too! I’m soo happy with it, and my housemates are disappearing it so quick there was only a quarter left when I went downstairs this morning.

Interesting way of making it. Did you prebake the crust?
I like to cook the apples over the stove with all the ingredients for a bit first before I apply it to the pie crust.
