Apple Pie Recipes With Shortcrust Pastry

Ingredients

To make a delicious apple pie with shortcrust pastry, you will need the following ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup cold butter or margarine, cut into small pieces, 1/4 cup cold water, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 6 large apples, peeled and cored, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons butter or margarine.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

To make the pastry, mix together the flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter or margarine until it resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, mix together the water and vinegar. Gradually add the water and vinegar mixture to the flour and butter, stirring with a fork until it forms a ball. Divide the pastry into two balls, one slightly larger than the other. Flatten each ball slightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Roll out the larger ball of pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place the pastry into the pie plate and trim away any overhang. Place the peeled and cored apples into the pastry shell. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples. Dot the apples with the butter or margarine. Roll out the remaining pastry and place over the top of the pie. Trim the pastry and crimp the edges together. Cut several slits in the top of the pastry to allow the steam to escape.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender. Allow to cool before serving.
