Preparation to make Apple pie

• Seive or mix all the dry ingredients together - whole wheat flour, all purpose flour and salt.

• Add the olive oil and with your fingers mix the oil in the flour evenly to get a breadcrumb consistency. This step should be done properly and this results in giving a flaky texture to the crust. The whole mixture should look like breadcrumbs.

• Add water and just bind the whole mixture together. Don't knead. Gather everything and form a dough. Don't over do.

• Peel, core and slice the apples.

• Mix the cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, demerara sugar and whole wheat flour into the apples.

• Preheat your oven.

• Grease your pie pan or pans with olive oil.

Making Apple pie

• Divide the dough into two or four equal parts depending on the size of your pie pans.

• Roll the divided parts of the dough on a dusted work surface.

• Cover the rolled pie crusts with a napkin so that they don't dry out.

• Place one of the rolled pie crust gently on a greased pan and press it towards the bottom and the edges.

• Arrange the apple slices with the filling evenly on the bottom pie crust.

• Top the apple slices with dots of butter or a few drops of olive oil.

• Cover the pan with another rolled pie crust and fold the edges of the top crust over and under the bottom edges. Flute the edges.

• You can also cut strips from the rolled dough and create a lattice pie crust.

• Cut through the top pie crust with a fork or knife from top so as to allow steam to pass whilst baking.

• Brush with soy milk or any milk and sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon powder on top.

• Bake in a pre heated oven at 180 degrees c for 50-60 mins or till the crust has become golden and crisp.

• Serve the apple pie warm or when at room temperature.

• You can refrigerate or freeze the pies. Wrap the apple pies when they completely cool down in a cling film or store them in an air tight container and refrigerate or freeze.
