Time for an apple pie !

 One advantage of the autumn is,that there is plenty of apples which need to be used :) And I like!
 apples.Who doesn´t?So after second round of apple jam i made,I decided to bring on something
 else,something yummy.Since the weather is quite lousy these days,it nice to spend some time in
 kitchen ,cooking and baking,and of course,enjoying the results of your work...And yeah,I like the
 rain better from behind the window,with a piece of homemade apple pie in my hand :D    

 Granny´s apple pie-here you go ;)

Ingredients:

-for dough
* 450g flour
* 150g sugar
* 1 tbl spoon of baking powder
* 1 tbl spoon of vanilla sugar
* 250g butter
* 2 eggs

Step by step:

-for the filling
* 2-3kg apples
* 1 tbl spoon of cinnamon
* 1-2 tbl spoons of vanilla sugar
* grated lemon zest


1. First we prepare a dough,whisk eggs and sugar so u get lovely mousse.Mix flour with baking powder
    and add to egg mousse.Shred-in butter(it makes your job much easier) and put everything together using
    your hands(if you didn´t use salty butter,you can add very little salt,so it brings the flavors out) After
    a while,you should get a nice shaped dough,if its sticky,add 1-2 spoons of flour.Then refrigerate for half
    an hour.
    This is how eggs looked when I opened them into the bowl.i just find it awesome :D :D





2. While the dough is in fridge,we prepare the apple pie filling.You need to peel all apples,shred them,
    squeeze out the liquid (not too much,there should stay a bit moisture,otherwise pie is going to be dry,we
    don´t want that) Add vanilla sugar,cinnamon and a lemon zest,mix well.





3. After half an hour in the fridge,cut dough into a half.Place the first piece on a sheet of baking paper and  
    use the rolling pin to shape i into a nice square.Repeat same with another piece of dough.Remember to
    preheat the oven to 220 degrees.





4. Place baking paper with the dough on a square baking pan.Make sure you have covered the edges with   
    dough as well.                                                                                                                                       





5. Cover with apples and put the next dough on.You can make few holes with a fork,so your pie won´t   
    get bubbles ;)                                                                                                                             






6. And now,pie is ready for oven..place it in the middle,and first 5 minutes bake it on 220dgr.Then lower 
    the temperature to 180dgr and let it bake for another 25 minutes.You will know its ready when it gets  
    lovely pink-brown shade and corners are brown.(If 25 minutes was not enough,place your pie closer top  
    of oven and let in for another 5 minutes )    
    
    Let the pie cool down,and cut it in squares.You can spread it with some powdered sugar if you like,
    and its done ! Bonapetit <3
