🥧 How To Make Mary Berry Apple Pie

1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Add butter and blend until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
2. Gradually add ice water, stirring until the dough comes together. Divide dough into two halves, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Roll out one half of the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the pie plate.
5. Fill with the apple mixture and dot with pieces of butter. Roll out the second half of the dough and lay it over the filling.
6. Trim the excess and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape. Mix the beaten egg with water and brush over the top crust.
7. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
8. Place the pie on the lower shelf of the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
9. Allow the pie to cool on a rack before serving to help the filling set.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Choose the Right Apples: Using a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples provides a good balance of tartness and sweetness, but you can experiment with other varieties like Braeburn or Jonagold for different flavors.
• Chill the Dough: Ensure the dough is thoroughly chilled before rolling it out. This makes the dough easier to handle and helps prevent shrinkage during baking
• Thicken the Filling: The combination of flour and the natural pectin in apples should thicken the filling, but you can add an extra tablespoon of flour or a teaspoon of cornstarch if your apples are particularly juicy.
• Prevent Over-Browning: If the edges of your pie crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie shield halfway through baking.
• Let It Cool: Allow the pie to cool for at least a couple of hours before slicing. This resting period lets the filling set, making the pie easier to cut and serve.
