Ingredients for that Dough
All-purpose flour/Maida - 1 cup sifted
Unsalted butter (cold and cubed) - 90 grams
Cold water - 2-3 tablespoons
Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
Sugar - 1 teaspoon
Ingredients for that Filling
Apples - 2 1/2 (Use any firm textured apple)
Granulated white-colored sugar - 1/4 cup
Brown Sugar - 1/4 cup
Cinnamon powder - 1 teaspoon
Nutmeg powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Salt - a pinch
All-purpose flour -1 tablespoons of
Butter - 1 teaspoon
Making the dough
Chill the bowl by which you will prepare the cake crust. Cut butter into cubes and set it within the freezer for 30 minutes.
Inside a bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt and sugar.
Mix until well combined.
Add chilled butter cubes towards the flour. Using just your fingers, rub or squash each cube of butter in to the flour. Have a butter cube along with a little flour and squash it. Repeat exactly the same until all of the butter is damaged into fine pieces and also the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Make use of your fingers only because it is the very coldest a part of both hands and can avoid melting the butter.
Use a mixer to create your work simpler. If utilizing a mixer, put the flour, butter and process, while using pulse button, for 10-just a few seconds before the mixture is crumbly or resembles breadcrumbs.
Create a well within the center, add 1 tablespoons of of cold water. Make use of your hands like a whisk (picture below) and blend the flour. Add another tablespoons of of cold water and blend well. Stop adding water when the dough clumps together. The dough must hold together when clumped. Add a bit more cold water only when the dough doesn't clump together. For me personally, it needed around 2 1/2 tablespoons of of cold water.
Dust the top after some flour and lightly gather and press the dough as proven below. Knead the dough lightly to really make it smooth. Don't overwork onto it.
Divide the dough into two (3/4 and 1/4), flatten it the same shape as a disc, wrap it inside a cling film and refrigerate it for 30-an hour.
This is actually the Fundamental cake dough and may be used to make a number of pies.
Making the Apple Filling
Peel the apples, cut, discard the seeds and chop it into cubes. Add 1/2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and blend well to avoid the apples from getting discolored.
Add sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, flour towards the chopped apples and blend until well combined. I made use of 1/2 cup of white-colored sugar as I didn't have brown sugar on that day.
Allow it to take fifteen minutes.
After fifteen minutes. you will notice that the apples might have oozed out lots of juice.
Strain and collect the juice inside a cup. Heat a teaspoon of butter and add some juice you collected in the apples.
Stir on medium flame until it thickens and becomes gently caramelized.
Combine it with the apple and blend rid of it. Our apple mixture is prepared.
Grease a muffin pan or cupcake pan that it is well coated with butter. This can help to get rid of the small apple pies easily after baking.
Take 3/4 from the dough in the refrigerator. Dust the top and also the moving pin with flour. While using moving pin, unveil the pastry. Initially when the outdoors from the dough cracks, place it together with your hands as proven below.
Transform it occasionally and roll it to make sure even thickness and also to prevent sticking. Roll it until it's fairly thin. Roll it back around the moving pin and mud off excess flour having a pastry brush as proven within the picture below.
Utilizing a cup bigger than how big the cupcake/muffin mould, eliminate circles in the dough.
Put it within the muffin cup/mould and press it lightly together with your finger in order that it sits well within the cup. Remove any excess dough and tuck the perimeters nicely. Do it again for the 6 muffin cups.
Fill the apple mixture up until the top.
Go ahead and take other remaining 1/4 from the dough in the refrigerator and roll it thinly.
Cut rectangular strips, the dimensions (diameter) of the cupcake/muffin cups. Make use of the strips to produce a weave like pattern to pay for the apple mixture. This weave like pattern is known as Lattice top.
Tuck it nicely using the the underside crust as show below. You are able to gently moisten the perimeters from the bottom crust with water to really make it stick well. Rather from the weaved pattern, you may also cover the cake having a smaller sized circle having a mix slit as proven within the picture below (The slit is perfect for the steam to flee).
Repeat exactly the same process for that remaining muffin cups. All of the six muffin cups are carried out the image below. I made 3 weaved patterns and three mix slit patterns.
You are able to brush the very best with milk or egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water/milk) if preferred. Dust the very best with little sugar if preferred.
Pre-heat the oven at 180 degree C for fifteen minutes while beginning to organize the lattice top itself. Put the muffin tray in the centre rack and bake at 180 degree C for 30-35 minutes or before the crust is light brown. Have a watch after twenty minutes.
When you take away the muffin pan in the oven, allow awesome for 10-15 mins.
When awesome, it is simple to release it in the muffin cup having a toothpick and they'll come out.
Function as such or having a scoop of vanilla frozen treats or perhaps a dollop of softly whipped cream.
You are able to store baked apple pies in airtight container at 70 degrees for approximately 2 days as well as for a couple of more days decreases.
The cake dough could be freezed for around per month. Before using defrost the dough within the refrigerator.

Hi. Thank you for wonderful receipe, I've got a question though. In certain apple cake receipe I just read they half bake the underside layer first, add some apple cake filling out into it after which add top layer and bake it again. So half baking the low layer is essential? And if I intend to make single apple cake rather of those small veriety then will it require any alternation in receipe? Thanks
Appreciate liking the recipe. If you wish to create a single apple pies, you don't have to alter the recipe. Regarding half baking the underside layer, I do not know.
