Homemade Italian Apple Pie

flour

sugar

butter

baking powder

apples (I use Royal Gala)

cinnamon

brown sugar

cornstarch

Pre heat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour an 8&quot; or 9&quot; pie plate (20-23 cm)

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour (start with 1 3/4 cups) sugar and baking powder, cut in the butter with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs, then add the egg and egg yolk, bring it together slightly with a fork. If dough is too wet then add extra flour, one tablespoon at a time.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface, work the dough together to form a soft dough (if too sticky add a little more flour). Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Remove from fridge and knead a few times to soften up the dough, if needed. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, and roll with a lightly floured rolling pin into two circles. Fit the dough into the prepared pie plate with the dough.

FOR THE PIE CRUST

Meanwhile, while the dough chills in the fridge start to prepare the filling. In a medium-large sized pot add the butter and melt over low heat, then add the brown sugar, apples and cinnamon, stir to combine and continue to cook on low / medium heat for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring often, then add the cornstarch, stir to combine and continue to cook for approximately 3-5 minutes until thickened (will still be a little runny), remove from heat.

Pour the filling on the pie crust and top with the second pie dough*.  Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Check after 20 minutes and if crust is browning too much then cover with foil and continue baking. Enjoy!

FOR THE APPLE FILLING

Well now, that was certainly interesting!  I'm more accustomed to a North American pie crust that is flaky - this crust is friable. Certainly nothing wrong with that - in fact I think I much prefer a crust that is more tender than flaky.  One thing about adding the cornstarch to the apples - I would suggest you remove the apples from the liquid first then make a slurry with the cornstarch before adding it to the apple liquids.  Less chance of getting lumps in the sauce.  Once thickened - then add the apples back in.

Made it for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit !! Thanks for a great and easy recipe
