甜点：Apple Pie

曾经在店里买过一个店家自己做的Apple Pie，感觉不喜欢，也许是因为他们为了保鲜，不得不冷冻，所以，打开以后，发现，里面的苹果，颜色变得很难看，所以，看着一点儿没胃口，后来就再也不买了，改自己做着吃，至少图个新鲜。 一时找不到我很喜欢的配方，找了一个相似的。贴这儿。 Makes one 9-inch pie. Ingredients Pastry 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon fine salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1/2 cup vegetable shortening 2 tablespoons lemon juice 6 tbsp to 10 tbsp cold water as needed Filling 8 cups peeled and sliced tart apples, such as Spy or Spartan 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 egg whisked with 2 tbsp cold water for brushing sugar for sprinkling Directions Pastry Combine flour with salt. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture is a roughly even crumbly texture. Add lemon juice and water and blend just until dough comes together. Shape into a disc, wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Filling Toss all ingredients except butter together and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 °F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of dough to just under ¼-inch thick. Lightly dust bottom of a 9-inch pie pan with flour and line pan with dough. Fill pastry with apples and dot top with butter. Roll out remaining half of dough and place over apples. Trim and cinch edges of pie and cut in holes in top layer of pastry to let steam escape. Brush top of pie with eggwash and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 °F and bake about 40 minutes, until filling is bubbling. Cool pie for at least an hour before slicing. 说相似，是有几点。此配方说是Makes one 9-inch pie，但就我所知，这都可以做俩九英寸盘的了。 我自己的配方呢，面粉我会减一点，有1.5 Cup就差不多了，其他不减。但我不在Pastry里加lemon juice，小Tern很不喜欢lemon跟面粉的混合物。 还有，不懂Filling里为什么需要那么多苹果，我做Filling喜欢用Granny Smith，通常用三个就够了。后来试着用两个Granny Smith加一个Pink Lady，味道也不错，糖我不放那么多，有这配方里的一半就差不多了。我也不加nutmeg，如果用新鲜柠檬可以加一点儿柠檬皮，我有时用柠檬汁，就不加皮了。还有自己吃，也懒得在外面刷鸡蛋液，嗯，那个，刷好了可能好看，刷不好很难看。其实，可以刷一点儿蜂蜜水，如果想要外表颜色深一点儿的话。
