Red apple taste like a tart Granny apple recipe
Last Updated on
A Granny Smith apple is a tart apple with a bright green skin. It is named after Maria Granny Smith, who first cultivated the apple in Australia in the 1860s.
Granny Smith apples are used in many recipes, including pies, tarts, and crisps. The apples can also be eaten raw or used as a topping for yogurt or ice cream.
When choosing a Granny Smith apple, look for one that is firm and has a deep green color. Avoid apples that are bruised or have blemishes.
To make a Granny Smith apple pie, you will need:
1 recipe for double crust pie dough
8-10 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Roll out one piece of the pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Transfer the dough to the pie plate and trim the excess dough from the edge. Refrigerate the dough-lined pie plate while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss to mix well.
Pour the apple mixture into the dough-lined pie plate. Dot the top of the pie with the butter pieces. Roll out the remaining piece of dough to a 12-inch circle. Cut the dough into 1-inch strips. Weave the strips over the top of the pie to form a lattice top. Trim the strips even with the edge of the pie plate. Crimp the dough edge to seal.
Bake the pie for 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly
