Easy Italian Apple Pie

/5

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

 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Pour the mixture into a greased and floured 9-inch (24 cm) cake pan. Decorate the top with the apple wedges.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove from the oven and enjoy!
