Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

*Cream* the softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add the curd cheese and mix well.

Add the *flour*, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix everything until a dough forms. *Ensure* all ingredients are combined well.

Step 2

Prepare the Apples

Wash the apples, peel them, and remove the cores. Slice them into even pieces for the filling.

Step 3

Chill and Roll Out the Dough

Divide the dough into two equal parts and place them in the refrigerator for *30 minutes* to chill.

After chilling, roll out one part of the dough and line a pie dish with it. Arrange the apple slices evenly over the base, sprinkling with *cinnamon and sugar* as desired.

Step 4

Assemble and Bake the Pie

Roll out the second portion of dough and place it over the apples, sealing the edges.

Brush the top with an egg yolk for a golden finish. *Bake* in a preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit) for *40-60 minutes* until golden brown.

Step 5

Finishing Touches

Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Dust the top with *powdered sugar* for an elegant finish. Enjoy your delicious homemade apple pie!

Servings

✨ **Savor this apple pie warm** with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting slowly over it. The contrast between the hot pie and cold ice cream is a divine dessert experience.

✨ _Craving some rich flavor twists?_ Add a dash of caramel sauce on the side for dipping your pie slices. It brings an extra layer of sweetness that perfectly complements the tartness of baked apples. 🍎

✨ **Want to make it brunch-friendly?** Pair it with a strong cup of coffee or a chai latte. This gives you cozy energy boosts while indulging in your pie. Your tastebuds will thank you! ☕

Variations

🌱 **Gluten-Free:** Use a trusted gluten-free flour blend and ensure your baking powder is also gluten-free. Monitor the texture slightly as gluten-free dough tends to be more delicate.

💚 **Vegan Option:** Substitute the butter with a high-quality vegan butter and the cottage cheese with a plant-based cream cheese alternative. Swap the egg yolk glaze for a plant milk wash to achieve a golden crust.

Faq

  • How can I prevent my dough from sticking?

    Dust both the countertop and rolling pin with flour to minimize sticking, and consider chilling the dough for longer if it becomes too warm.

  • Can I prepare the dough in advance?

    Absolutely! You can prepare and refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours before using. Just let it soften slightly at room temperature before rolling.

  • How can I achieve a perfectly flaky crust?

    Ensure your butter is cold to begin with and avoid overworking the dough. These are key steps to that perfect flaky pie crust.

  • What's the best way to slice apples for this pie?

    Slice your apples thinly, around 1/4-inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly and become tender during baking.

  • Can I add other fruits to the filling?

    Yes, you can add fruits like berries or rhubarb for variety. Be mindful of the moisture content as it might alter the baking time.

  • How do I prevent the crust's edges from overbrowning?

    Use a pie shield or foil strips to cover the edges if they start to brown too quickly in the oven.
