1
For the crust/pastry:
-
2
Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder together in a large mixing bowl.
-
3
Add the beaten egg and the milk (a little at a time) to the mixture and mix well. Add the butter (which you can soften) and mix well until you get a nice, even consistency to the pastry dough.
-
4
Keep a bit of the pastry on the side, to be used as strips for the top of the pie (if you choose).
-
5
Line the base of a greased oven-proof dish with the rest of the pastry dough and set aside.
-
6
For the filling:
-
7
Cut and peel the 3 apples and stew the fruit along with 1/4 cup water (and a bit of sugar, if needed-use less than 1/4 cup to sweeten).
-
8
If the apple filling is too watery, you can add a bit of corn flour to the mixture as it boils to thicken.
-
9
Once the apples are to the consistency you desire (I like to leave mine a tad bit crunchy), place the mixture into the pan lined with your pastry dough.
-
10
Top off the pie with the extra dough strips you saved earlier.
-
11
Bake the pie at 200 degrees C (or about 390 degrees F) for 25 to 30 minutes, until the dough is cooked through.
-
12
You can serve the pie warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
