flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber.

In a bowl, mix all purpose flour, salt, sugar, and cold butter. Mix this with a pastry cutter until this resembles a coarse sand. Add 2 tablespoons of cold water at a time, mix until you form a dough. Chill for at least 2 hours.

For the filling; Peel the apples, remove the core, and slice the apples. Place these in a bowl with some lemon. Mix in cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, brown sugar, white sugar, and all purpose flour. Set aside.

Take the chilled dough and divide this into half. Roll one half and place this in a pie plate. Fix the edges to fit the plate, then place in the apple filling with the sauce.

Roll the other half and cover the apples. Seal the edges using a fork. Remove the excess dough and slit the top with a knife. Brush the crust with a beaten egg.

Bake in a 350°F or 175°C preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the crust looks golden. Let it rest for a while before serving.
