    Title: Classic Dutch Apple Pie
    Categories: Pies
    Yield: 1 Pie

    300 g Self raising flour
    200 g Butter; cold, in little
    -cubes
    150 g Soft light brown muscovado
    -sugar
    3/4 Egg (35 g); for the dough
    1/4 Egg; beaten, for brushing
    1 pn Salt
    1 kg Tart apples;
    -(goudreignet/rode van
    -boskoop)
    Fresh lemon juice
    2 ts Ground cinnamon (6 g)
    50 g Sugar
    50 g Raisins; washed and soaked
    -and drained (optional)

    Mix self raising flour, salt, soft light brown sugar and butter in
    cubes. Rub with fingertips until you have a mixture resembling bread
    crumbs. Add the 3/4 egg and quickly kneed the ingredients into a
    smooth dough. Leave to rest in the fridge for an hour.

    Peel the apples and cut each apple into 4 equal parts and cut each
    part into 5 thick slices, sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent
    oxidation. Add the cinnamon and 50 g of sugar to the apples and stir.
    Add the raisins, leave them out if you do not like them. Cover and
    set aside.

    Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Line a round buttered springform
    baking tin (20-22 cm) with 3/5 of the dough. Add the prepared apples.
    Make sure to distribute the apple slices evenly and to fill the pie
    so it is firmly packed with apple (the apples will slink from
    baking). Shaking the tin a bit might help you to achieve this.

    Now with the left over 2/5 of the dough make a grid/lattice on top of
    the apples. Brush the grid lightly with the 1/4 beaten egg (add a bit
    of water to the egg to make it easier to brush). Bake the pie for 60
    to 70 minutes, depending on your oven. Leave to cool. You can eat it
    warm, which is very nice, but I like it even better when cooled
    completely.
