My Apple Pie :)

When you have all the time in the world , hundreds of ideas come to your mind.And when it also becomes almost urgent to stave off ur hunger pangs, u can always afford to make something like an apple pie :)
So when i found that i had all what it requires to bake one, I started off.

Here are the simple steps ( from my mom's age old recipe book) and few pictures (courtesy:my sony cybershot :))

Take 2 cups of flour.Add 3 tbsp powdered sugar,half a cup cold butter and a pinch of salt.Mix it well.Now knead this mixture into a dough.cover it up in a foil and refrigerate it for sometime.

To prepare the filling, cut and peel four medium sized apples.Add some sugar (as much as u want,would depend on the sweetness of apples as well),2 tbsp water,1 tsp cinnamon. Cook in a pan,so that apples become soft and u can mash it well.Once done let it cool. Now I added a few raisins and almonds too.Keep it aside.

Cut the dough in two parts.Roll out one part evenly and flop it over the baking dish.
Brush egg white on the pie.u can make tiny holes on the pie so that it bakes well.Now spread the apple filling in it.



Roll out the other part of dough and flop it to cover the pie.Brush again the egg white.U can go ahead with decorations as well, like i did to make it look like a traditional apple pie ;)





Now bake it in the oven at 190 degrees for 30 mins.
Top it with raisins and chow down!!!




And its not bad when three fourth of it gets eaten up before it got cooled ;)




I have never made an apple pie before and this one was absolutely divine!
Happy eating!
