Easy Italian Apple Pie
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (300g)
- 3 apples
- 1 ¼ cups sugar (250g)
- 3 eggs
- 5 tablespoons butter (70g)
- ¾ cup milk (200ml)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (16g)
- 1 lemon
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Wash the apples, peel them, and remove the core. Slice one and a half apples into wedges, and dice the rest. Let the diced apples macerate in lemon juice.
- Whisk the eggs with sugar until the mixture becomes pale and frothy. Gradually add sifted flour and baking powder, followed by the melted, cooled butter, diced apples, milk, and a pinch of salt. Mix well, folding gently from the bottom up.
- Pour the mixture into a greased and floured 9-inch (24 cm) cake pan. Decorate the top with the apple wedges.
- Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 50 minutes. Test with a toothpick to ensure it’s cooked through—if needed, bake longer.
- Remove from the oven and enjoy!
