Ingredients
PIE CRUST
- 2 2/3 cups flour
- 1 cup butter, cubed
- 8 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
FILLING
- 2 tbsp Roasted Almond Tea
- 5 apples, peeled and sliced
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 egg (egg wash)
STEP 1 (PIE CRUST): Mix the flour, sugar and salt, then use your fingers to mix in the butter to a coarse mix. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with 4 tbsp water, then slowly pour into the flour mixture. Mix thoroughly and form a ball; divide the ball in half and place each in plastic in the fridge.
STEP 2 (FILLING): Preheat the oven to 375° F. Steep the Roasted Amond Tea in ½ cup of boiling water for 8-10 min, then strain to a measuring cup. Mix the apples, sugar, salt, flour and ¼ cup of steeped tea until apples are well coated
STEP 3 (BAKE): Preheat oven to 375° F. Take out the doughs and roll each into a 15” circle. Transfer one to an 11” pie baking dish. Spoon the Filling into this baking dish. Cut the second dough circle into 1 ½ inch strips and place in a pattern over the filling. Brush the pastry with an egg wash. Bake 45-60 min to golden brown.
