I guess you could say this one here is an All-American Classic! Day three of the Apple Cake/Pie Week!
Today I have this awesome Apple Pie for you – I wished you could smell it… ;)
When I was living in the US, I loved to have this kind of pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – sometimes in the middle of the night, after going out with friends – it’s a more than perfect after midnight snack ;)
And of course good for a sunday afternoon with some coffee… well, let’s be honest – anytime is good for a slice of that delicious apple pie ;)

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

1 Prise Salz
1 EL Zucker
1 Ei
150g Butter
Für die Füllung:
750g säuerliche Äpfel (z. B. Elstar)
75g Rosinen
Saft von einer Zitrone
75g Mandelstifte

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. For the dough add the flour, salt, sugar, egg and butter in small pieces to a large bowl and mix with the handheld mixer/food processor first and then with your hands until you get a smooth dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
2. Wash the raisins and drain. Peel the apples, quarter, core and cut into thin slices. Mix the flour with sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle over the apples and mix with lemon juice, the almond slivers and raisins until well combined. Set aside.
3. Preheat the oven to 390˚F (200°C). Grease a pie dish (9.5 inch). On a floured surface roll out half of the dough to a circle, slightly bigger than the pie dish. Transfer to the pie dish and press to the bottom and the sides. Cut off excess dough on the edges. Sprinkle the bottom with breadcrumbs and fill in the apples.
4. Roll out the remaining dough. Cut out 0.8 inch stripes with a knife and form a lattice crust on top of the apples. Whisk the egg and brush the lattice crust. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake on the lower rack for 30-40 minutes. If the top is getting too dark, cover with some aluminum foil or baking parchment. When done, take out of the oven and let cool on a cooling rack. Dust with confectioner’s sugar before serving. Goes well with vanilla ice cream or vanilla sauce – hot or cold.
1. Für den Teig Mehl, Salz, Zucker, das Ei und Butter in Stückchen erst mit den Knethaken des Handrührgerätes, dann mit den Händen zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Zugedeckt ca. 30 Minuten kalt stellen.
2. Rosinen waschen und abtropfen lassen. Äpfel schälen, vierteln, entkernen und in dünne Scheiben schneiden. Mehl, Zucker und Zimt vermischen. Über die Äpfel geben und mit Zitronensaft, Mandelstiften und Rosinen mischen und zur Seite stellen.
3. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) vorheizen. Eine Pie-Form (ca. 24cm) fetten. Die Hälfte des Teiges auf einer bemehlten Arbeitsfläche rund, etwas größer als die Form ausrollen. Form damit auslegen, überstehende Ränder abschneiden. Boden mit Paniermehl bestreuen. Apfelmischung darauf verteilen.
4. Restlichen Teig ausrollen. Mit einem Teigroller oder Messer in ca. 2cm breite Streifen schneiden. Ein Teiggitter auf den Kuchen legen. Ei verquirlen und das Teiggitter damit bestreichen. Mit Zucker bestreuen. Im vorgeheizten Backofen auf der unteren Schiene 30-40 Minuten backen. Nach der Hälfte der Backzeit eventuell abdecken, sollte das Teiggitter zu dunkel werden. Auf einem Kuchengitter auskühlen lassen. Mit Puderzucker bestäuben. Schmeckt gut mit Vanilleeis oder Vanillesoße – heiß oder kalt.
