To prepare a delicious apple pie, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need 4 eggs, 200 g of sugar, 150 ml of oil, 1 packet of baking soda, 500 g of flour, and of course, fresh apples. Choose the apples you like best, preferably sweet-tart ones, such as Granny Smith or Jonagold apples, for a balanced taste.
In a large bowl, crack the 4 eggs and add the sugar. Use a whisk or a mixer to beat the eggs together with the sugar until the mixture becomes lighter in color and slightly frothy. It is important to incorporate air at this stage to achieve a fluffy texture for the pie. Continue to add the oil in a thin stream, mixing constantly so that it integrates well into the composition.
Once the oil is completely incorporated, add the baking soda and mix again. Then, gradually add the flour, mixing with a spatula or with the mixer on low speed until you obtain a homogeneous dough. Be careful not to overmix, as the pie might become dense. The dough should not be too hard; it should have a slightly soft and sticky consistency.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and roll out the first part of the dough into a sheet about 1 cm thick. Place the sheet in the baking tray, which you have previously greased with a little oil or butter and dusted with flour. Use a fork to prick the dough here and there to prevent air bubbles from forming during baking.
Peel the apples and grate them. Mix the grated apples with sugar and cinnamon to taste. Evenly spread the apple mixture over the first sheet of dough in the tray. Then, take the other half of the dough, roll it out as well, and place it over the apples. Don’t forget to prick the dough again with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Preheat the oven to 180-200 degrees Celsius. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the pie for 15-20 minutes. Be careful with the pie, as the baking time may vary depending on your oven. When the pie turns golden and nicely browned, it is ready to be taken out. Let it cool slightly before cutting it into portions and serving. Enjoy your meal!
