This is the recipe for a traditional Dutch apple pie. You can serve it hot or cold with whipped cream or with ice cream. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 10 Jonagold apples
• 2 tbs ground cinnamon
• 250 gr unsalted butter
• 200 gr white sugar
• pinch of salt
• 8 gr vanilla sugar
• 1 egg
• 400 gr self-raising flour

Preparations

• Preheat the oven to 180 °C
• Line the bottom of a spring form pan with baking paper and grease the edges with butter
• Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into tin slices. Add the cinnamon and stir well. Set aside.
• Beat butter (room temperature), sugar, vanilla sugar and salt with a mixer to a fluffy batter.
• Add half of the egg and mix to an even batter. Add the baking flour and beat until it forms a sturdy dough.
• Cover the bottom and side of spring form pan with half of the dough. You’ll need a rolling pin for this to flatten the dough.
• Add all of the apple slices into the spring form pan.
• Dust a flat surface with flour and roll out the remains of the dough, about ½ cm thick.
• Whisk the remaining egg and brush over the dough strips.
• Bake the pie for 1 ½ hours in the middle of the oven.
