Our deep-dish apple pie, step by step

Every autumn someone asks for the recipe. Here it is.

The apples

Use a mix: Northern Spy for structure, Cortland for softness.

The method

1. Slice the apples thin, about 5 mm.

2. Toss with sugar, cinnamon and a little flour.

3. Bake at 190 °C for 20 minutes, then 170 °C for 50.

Let it cool for two hours. It slices cleanly and the juices set.
