Perfect Heart-Shaped Apple Pie
Ingredients: For the Pie Crust:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup ice water
For the Apple Filling:
- 4-5 large apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
For Assembly:
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Sugar (for sprinkling)
Steps:
Pie Crust: Step 1: In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, and salt. Add chilled butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Apple Filling: Step 3: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 4: In a bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Assembling and Baking: Step 5: Roll out one disc of pie crust on a floured surface. Cut out two large heart shapes for the top and bottom crust.
Step 6: Place the bottom crust in a heart-shaped pie dish. Fill with the apple mixture.
Step 7: Top with the second heart-shaped crust. Seal the edges and crimp with a fork.
Step 8: Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
Step 9: Cut a few small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
Step 10: Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, and the filling is bubbly.
Step 11: Allow the Heart-Shaped Apple Pie to cool before serving.
Celebrate love and sweetness with this heartwarming and delicious apple pie!
