Time 1h5m

Yield 1 9-inch pie, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup melted butter
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
  • Toss apples with 1 tablespoon of sugar, and pour them into a pie plate. Thoroughly mix together 1 cup of sugar with the flour, cinnamon, butter, and egg. Spread this evenly over the top of the pie.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the apples have cooked and the topping is golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a flakier crust, use cold butter and ice water. Work the butter into the flour quickly, until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • To prevent the pie from bubbling over, cut a few slits in the top crust before baking.
  • If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan.
  • To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This classic Swedish apple pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. With its flaky crust, tender apples, and sweet sugar topping, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
