Apple Pie / Tarta de manzana

Ingredients Apple Pie

For the pastry:
* Two cups of flour
* One hundred seventy-five grams of unsalted butter
* Half cup sugar
* Two eggs
* One tablespoon of fresh milk
* Half teaspoon salt

For the filling:
* Nine apples, skin removed and thinly sliced
* ½ cup brown sugar
* A teaspoon of butter
* One teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preparation for the pastry :
Knead the flour with the butter, sugar, egg and salt until a soft ball.

Stretch with a rolling pin to a thickness of three millimeters, sprinkle a little flour on the rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking. Cover a pie dish with the dough. Press the pastry into the sides and base of the dish. Cut around the top of the dish to remove any extra surplus.

Preparation for the apple filling:
In a saucepan, over low heat, cook the apple slices with the sugar, butter and cinnamon, for fifteen minutes, until semi cooked. Remove from the heat and let the apples go cold in bowl. Drain any liquid.

Place apples in the pie dish on top of the pastry. Roll out extra pastry and cut into long strips about 3 cm thick. Put them over the top of the apples.

Brush the top of the pie with fresh milk. Put the dish in the oven at 180 degrees for forty minutes. Remove and serve.
