French Apple pie



This apple pie recipe is a classic and very easy to prepare. I made this over the weekend and is great served with icecream or whiped cream. We also finished it off the following day with a cup of tea.

sweet short pastry
1 lb apples (such as granny smith)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup cream
3 tb cognac or calvados brandy
if you have it.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375° F / 190 °C.

Step 2: Peel, quarter, cut the apples into slices. Toss them in a bowl with 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon. Arrange them in the pastry shell. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Then let cool.

Step 3: Beat the egg and 1/2 cup of sugar until mixture is pale yellow. Beat in the flour, then the cream, and finally the brandy. Pour in the mixture over the apples.

Step 4: Return to oven for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar and return again to oven for 20 minutes.

Serve with cram or ice cream!
