Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 300 g flour
- 1 vegetable margarine (preferably at room temperature)
- 4 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (preferably wine vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
For the filling:
- 1 kg apples (preferably tart apples for a pleasant contrast)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 100 g sugar
- 2 packets vanilla sugar
- 2 tablespoons semolina
Preparation:
1. Preparing the dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed margarine and knead with your fingers until you achieve a texture similar to wet sand. This step is essential for a flaky dough. Then add the cold water and vinegar, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form a ball, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Preparing the filling
Meanwhile, wash the apples and peel them. Grate them on a large grater into a bowl, then add the lemon juice to prevent oxidation. Incorporate the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla sugar, mixing well. These flavors will combine perfectly with the apples and give the pie a special taste. Finally, add the semolina, which will absorb the juice released by the apples and help create a better-bound filling.
3. Assembling the pie
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into two equal parts. On a floured surface, roll out the first sheet of dough, ensuring it is large enough to cover the baking tray. Place the sheet in the tray lined with parchment paper and sprinkle the semolina evenly on the surface – this will add a pleasant texture and absorb excess moisture. Then add the apple filling, distributing it evenly.
4. Finalizing and baking
Roll out the second sheet of dough to cover the filling. Use a fork to make a few holes in the top of the pie – this will allow steam to escape during baking. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, until it turns golden and crispy.
5. Serving
After the pie has cooled, you can dust it with powdered sugar for a more elegant appearance. It can be served warm or at room temperature, alongside vegan vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of plant-based yogurt for a creamy contrast.
Variation suggestion: If you want to add an extra flavor, you can try incorporating chopped nuts or raisins into the filling, which will bring an interesting texture and a sweet-tart taste.
Now you are ready to prepare this delicious apple pie! Enjoy!
