Here is a quick and easy eggless apple pie recipe. A delicious dessert which can be eaten plain or with a scoop of ice-cream.
Ingredients
  • Whole Wheat Flour: 1 and half cup + 2 tbsp
  • Cinnamon Powder: 1 and ¼ tsp
  • Brown Sugar: 4 tbsp
  • Salt: ¼ tsp
  • Cold Unsalted Butter: 75 gm
  • Cold Water: ½ cup
  • Apples: 2
Instructions
  1. Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius. Grease a pie pan with butter.
  2. To make crust, Sieve the whole wheat flour (1 and ½ cup). Add to it the ¼ tsp cinnamon powder, salt and brown sugar (sugar is optional).
  3. Add chopped cold butter to the whole wheat flour and mix well with fingertips so that they resemble bread crumbs.
  4. Add cold water to the flour and gather together all the contents to form a dough. Do not knead. I added a little less than ½ cup water here.
  5. Keep covered with wet cloth to avoid drying out.
  6. To make filling, Peel, core and thinly slice the apples.
  7. Add to the apples, 1 tsp cinnamon powder, 2 tbsp brown sugar and 2 tbsp whole wheat flour and mix well
  8. Divide the dough into two parts.
  9. Dust a rolling board with flour. Take one part on the rolling board and flatten with palm.
  10. Roll it out into a disc of ¼ inch thickness.
  11. Place this rolled pie crust on the greased pie pan and press gently, lining it with the pan. You can cut off any extra dough.
  12. Put the apple pieces evenly on the bottom pie crust.
  13. Take the other portion of the dough and repeat the process again to make another disc.
  14. The top crust of the pie can be made into two ways. I have noted down both below:
  15. Cover the pan with this second pie crust and fold the edges of the top crust over and under the bottom crust OR Cut strips of the rolled out pie crust and create lattice pie crust. In this recipe I have made a lattice pie crust. However, I have also made a regular crust and can say that there is no difference in taste.
  16. If you are making a normal pie crust, you need to make small cuts through the top pie crust with a knife so as to allow steam to pass while baking.
  17. Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon powder over it.
  18. Bake it for 45 minutes. The crust will become golden and crisp. Note that the time required for baking will vary based on the oven used.
