With so many ways to make an apple pie, why not try adding Matcha to your recipe.
Ingredients:
Dough
- 4 cups of 0000 flour
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 4 teaspoons of Greenergy Matcha
- 1 ¾ cups of butter
- 1/2 cup of ice water
- 1 tablespoon of vinegar
- 1 egg
Apple filling
- 5 cups of apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of 0000 flour
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
For brushing on top (optional):
- 1 egg + 1 tablespoon of beaten milk
Preparation:
In a bowl, mix the flour, Greenergy Matcha, sugar and salt.
Cut the butter into pieces and add to the flour mixture in the bowl. Now, with a pastry blender, work it until all the ingredients are combined.
In a smaller bowl, whisk the water, vinegar and egg until blended. Add to the flour mixture and bring all the ingredients together into a smooth dough. Let it cool in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface and line a pie pan, folding the dough in half or quarters to make it easier to handle.
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the apple filling and pour into the prepared pie crust.
Roll out the remaining dough on a well-floured surface and cut strips to make the lattice.
Optional:
Using a pastry brush, brush with the beaten egg.
Preheat the oven to moderate and bake for 50-60 minutes or until golden on top.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool a little before serving with vanilla ice cream.
