Lattice Apple Pie
If you’re looking for a modern take on traditional apple pie, then give this Lattice Apple Pie recipe a try. The crust is made with hazelnut flour, which gives it a unique texture and flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet apples. Plus, the lattice design will make your pie look like it came straight from a fancy bakery!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
- 2 cups hazelnut flour
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix together hazelnut flour, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, water, and salt until a dough forms. Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface and shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, trimming the edges as necessary.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sliced apples, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Spoon the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.
- Use a sharp knife or a pastry wheel to cut the remaining dough into thin strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern on top of the apples, weaving them over and under each other in a crisscross pattern.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water. Brush the egg wash over the lattice crust.
- Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
