This pie is very polular in my home country , in Hungary. We usually bake this time of a year, because the apples are fresh, and this is a really delicius way to use them. I am sure every family have a old recipe how to bake the perfect one. My family has too, but now this is my own version, and a little bit different than the traditionally one.
HUNGARIAN APPLE PIE
8 medium sized apple (peeled, grated)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp of cinnamon
1 cup wholemeal flour
1 cup of plain flour
2 eggs
1 tbsp of sour cream
half tp of baking powder
250 g cold unsalted butter
4 tbsp of brown sugar
pinch of salt
First you need to make a pastry. Put all the flour into a bowl, add the baking powder, salt, sugar and the cold butter, and mix all with your hand, then add a sour cream, 1 whole eggs and 1 egg yolks. Knead the dough until you have a nice crumbly pastry. Put into a fridge for a half hour to let it rest .
Meanwhile you can make the filling. Grate the apples into a bowl, add cinnamon, and 1 tp of brown sugar.
Separate the pastry for 2 equal sized,( bottom and top ) and stretch it. Place to a baking tray, then put the apple filling, and the other pastry sheet. Spread the top with the 1 egg whites, and bake in the preheated owen on 180 Degrees C. for 35 min.
