APPLE PIE IS ALL YOU NEED IN A RAINY DAY

YOU know I haven't forgotten you guys, right? I am so sorry I have been back on recipes for a couple of days but I had some other issues to deal with. I have this pain in my right shoulder that is absolutely killing me I cannot even pick up a bottle of water what is left for cooking properly. This is the first time a write and it is taking me quite the time to stumble through the word with my left hand so be patient with me I promise I will make it up to you!!!!

I read somewhere you can never go wrong with an Apple Pie and here it is, the very proof of this. I made an apple pie with my left hand, the dough didn't come out right as it was expected and still the result blow my mind! Not to mention how the whole house smelled of fall and cinamon! I can't wait to share the recipe with you, little crumbs!

INGREDIENTS:

For the dough:
     300 g flour
     100 g sugar
     0.5 tsp salt
     200g cold butter
     1 egg
     2 tablespoons ice-cold water
For the filling:
     '60 Breadcrumbs
     8 apples
     100 g sugar
     '60 Raisins
     4 tsp cinnamon
     2 tablespoons starch
additionally:
     1 egg yolk with a little cream

PREPARATION:

For the dough pour flour on the counter and do a well in it. In the well tap the egg and add the sugar, salt, diced butter & water. With your fingers, mix the products in the well and gradually make a smooth dough. Flatten the dough and wrap it in cling film. Place the dough in a refrigerator for 30 minutes. For the filling peel apples and clean them from seeds. Cut them into thin slices and put them in a large bowl. add sugar, drained pre-soaked raisins in water / for 10-15 minutes / cinnamon and starch. Mix well. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut 1/3 or a little less of it for the stripes. The larger piece of dough, roll out on floured countertop. You should end up with a large circle with thickness of 2 mm. Brush with butter the bottom and sides of spring form with a diameter of 22 cm. With a rolling pin, transfer the dough in it and match the bottom and walls. Cut excess dough. Sprinkle the bottom with bread crumbs and pour the filling. Squeeze very good apples. Roll out the remaining dough on floured surface. Cut it into strips with a width of 1.5 cm each, using a pizza cutter. Arrange strips on the pie, as a grid. Grease a pie with beaten yolk with a little cream. Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 1 hour.
