Ingredients

For the crust

250 g (2 cups) All purpose flour

2 Egg yolks (use large eggs)

3 tbsp White sugar

150 g (1⅓ cups) Very cold butter

1 tsp Apple cider vinegar

¼ tsp Salt

For the filling

700 g (25 oz) Apples. I used a mixture of green apples and golden apples

30 g (4 tbsp) All purpose flour

½ tbsp Cinnamon

½ tsp Salt

100 g (½ cup) White sugar

Method

For the whole pie

In a food processor blitz the flour and cold butter. Add the egg yolks and vinegar and pulse just until combined.

Divide the dough into 2 equal parts and refrigerate for half an hour.

Peel and cut the apples into big pieces. Add the sugar and other dry ingredients.

On a well-floured surface, roll one piece of the dough and place in a well-greased and floured pie dish, trimming the dough all around the edges. Add apples.

Roll out the other piece of dough, and using a knife cut out leaves.

Cover the pie with the leaves and bake the pie in a preheated oven at 180 °C (360 °F) for around 50-60 minutes.

Cool completely before serving.
