Alsace Apple Pie
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 30-35 minutes
Ingredients
250g flour, 125g butter, 25g sugar, 5g salt, 10cl cold water,
Fruit filling: 1kg apples, 25g sugar, Custard: 75g sugar, 10cl
milk and cream, 2 eggs.
Preparation
To make the custard: briefly beat the eggs and sugar, then add the milk, cream and vanilla. Grease the baking dish. Make 400g of pastry. Carefully line the baking dish, making the edges as regular as possible, and prick the pastry base with a fork. Peel and quarter the apples (or cut into eighths if too large). Slit the pieces to facilitate cooking and arrange them attractively on the base. Sprinkle with 25g of sugar. Bake in a hot oven for 25-30 minutes. When the apples are cooked, pour the custard over the tart. Return to the oven to finish baking. Sprinkle with icing sugar.
Note: best served while still warm.
Wine: serve with a Gewürztraminer
