PREPARATION METHOD

1. In a bowl, first mix the flour, butter and sugar until they form a crumbly mixture. Add the egg and knead until you have a homogeneous dough.
2. Then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix together the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Set aside.
4. Then preheat the oven to 180°C.
5. Take the dough out of the fridge and divide it into two parts. Roll out half the dough with a rolling pin and line the bottom of a pie dish.
6. Place the apple filling on top of the pastry.
7. Then, in another bowl, mix the flour, sugar and butter until they form a crumbly mixture. Spread this mixture over the apple filling.
8. Roll out the other half of the dough and cover the pie. Make small cuts in the surface to allow steam to escape during baking.
9. Finally, bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

Tips:

• Use firm, acidic apples, such as Granny Smith or Fuji, for a balance of flavors in the pie.
• Try adding raisins or chopped nuts to the filling for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
• Serve the German apple pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a generous dollop of whipped cream.
• Store the pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4 days.
