I made a massive apple pie


So fucking good … US style apple pie is a bliss !

Made with 16 apples and a Ø24cm and 6cm high pastry ring.

I precooked the apples and blind baked the bottom crust.

    Hard to wrong with both ice cream and whipped cream.

    Damn you bought $185 in apples to make that. Sir you must be rich. 🥳

    Note : Reddit bugged when I submitted the post, you’ll find below all the informations about the recipe.

    I sprinkled the peeled and sliced apples with lemon juice and white sugar to get some water out of it (I let them aside for 1 hour). After I put the apples in a colander to remove the excess water. I then precooked the apples and put them again in the colander to remove even more water. I also blind baked the bottom crust (at the end I spread some egg whites with a brush) and sprinkled it with crust dust (1:1 ratio flour/sugar) before putting the apples. The bottom crust wasn’t soggy at all with all those precautions !

    You can notice I fucked up the lattices overlapping pattern because I’m an idiot …

    CRUST RECIPE (I scaled up the recipe using 416gr of butter and a bit more sugar than the recipe calls for) : https://natashaskitchen.com/easy-pie-crust-recipe/

    SAUCE RECIPE, i doubled it (combine everything in a sauce pan, heat until it makes a sauce, make it boil a bit until it thickens, before mixing it with the precooked apples)

    – Flour : 23 gr
    – Salted butter : 115 gr
    – White sugar (for the apples) : 50gr
    – White sugar (for the sauce) : 50 gr
    – Packed brown sugar : 100 gr
    – Water : 60 gr
    – Vanilla beans, scraped : 2-4

    For a regular tart, I think 7-8 apples are sufficient. This one uses 16 because the volume of the ring is huge !

    This looks so delicious. Cinnamony golden brown goodness. I can smell it from here. Tasting it would be better.

    Massive is the word. How many people are being served??

    This is the perfect filling to crust thickness ratio!!!

    I make one like that in a springform pan with peaches, blueberries and a short bread crust. I love the fruit to crust ratio! Great job.

    Have mercy! That looks amazing. I’ll take a large slice with plenty of whip and ice cream!

    I personally didn’t like apple pie, but man, I’d absolutely eat a slice of that!
