Today we had a Pie Day in what we call Kitchen Bakery, meaning we baked 8 crusts (using 1 1/2 kg of flour and almost 2 Canadian butters 454 g each), but we are listing the ingredients for 1 crust.

November baking with Julka

Ontario apple pie
in just a few words

Today, as part of home school, Julka and I organized four-hands baking. She prepared the apple filling and I made the crust.

 

1 tart:

1 1/4 cup of flour (a cup = 15 dag)

10 grams of cold butter, which I put on flour and dice there into 1 cm cubes (or 1/3 cup of canola oil)

3 teaspoons of golden sugar (for savory tart add pinch of salt instead of sugar)

3 tablespoons of water cooled in the refrigerator

We doubled these ingredients so that they were enough for the bottom and top.

 

For the filling of the pie:

5 small apples

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 tablespoon of cornstarch (potato starch works as well)

50 g of brown sugar

Important! It is necessary to cut a hole in the middle. Works like a chimney. You can use a cookie cutter to give it a fancy shape …

We baked in an oven preheated to 350F / 180C for over an hour, until it was golden brown.

Ontario pioneers made such cakes in large quantities and kept them frozen outside the house throughout the winter.
