Apple Pie With Whole Wheat Flour Recipe

There are several ways to make apple pies. Today I wanted to make one of the classic styles of pie or apple pie with whole wheat flour. Ideal for rainy afternoons like this.

I made this recipe thinking of my neighbors, small organic export producers of apples (one of the few that remain and that are going through very difficult times in our country right now), they gave me a box full of super delicious apples! I had no more excuses to prepare this whole wheat pie recipe and take them a piece as a thank you way!

Let’s talk a bit about the recipe: This apple pie with whole wheat flour was made exclusively and purely from apples. If you do not have many at home or you do not like apples completely and you have pears or green apples, for example, it can be combined between fruits. Anyway, it comes out delicious anyway!

This time, I wanted the apple slices to show when cutting the tart. If you are used to cooking apples beforehand, or you like them better the other way, no problem. Another day I will leave the other style of pie in case you are interested.

The dough is from the shortcrust pastry family, what does it mean? It is a dough that is not kneaded. As a result you want a dough that breaks, melts in your mouth, that’s why it is called like that. If we knead this dough, the gluten develops, and that gives it elasticity, and in this recipe it is not needed or wanted that to happen.

If at the time of assembling the tart, the issue of the strips of dough is complicated for you, you can choose to close the tart completely and make a few cuts with the knife in the dough on top. In this way, the filling can breathe during cooking.

As for the mold used, it is a tart mold 26 cm in diameter and 4 cm high (it is the one I had at home). The proportions of the recipe are to make a pie just like the picture. If you don’t like tall tarts, you can use a lower mold and make 2 tarts. Or split the recipe and make just one. The baking time will not be the same, it will be less so you will have to pay attention.

It’s no need to be highly experienced to make this sweet whole wheat recipe. Really, you don’t even have to knead, so don’t make any more excuses! The weekend is coming and what better idea than to prepare a pie for the mate or coffee, or give your children something delicious, nutritious and full of fruits!

Apple Pie With Whole Wheat Flour Recipe

Serves: 6 Prep Time: Cooking Time:
Rating 5.0/5
( 1 voted )

INGREDIENTS

  • Dough:
  • Soft butter 200 g / 7.05 oz / 5 tbsp
  • Whole Cane sugar 180 g / 1 cup / 10 tbsp
  • Whole wheat flour 500 g / 17.63 oz / 4 ¼ cups
  • Eggs M 2
  • Pinch of salt
  • Milk or water 50 cc / ¼ cup / 3 ¼ tbsp
  • Vanilla essence a/n
  • FILLING
  • Apples 2 kg / 70.54 oz / 4.40 lb
  • Whole cane sugar 250 g / 8.81 oz / 1 ¼ cup
  • Lemon juice 1
  • Cornstarch 50 g / 1.76 oz / 4 tbsp
  • Cinnamon c / n

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. For the pastry: in a bowl place the soft butter and sugar. Beat until clear and creamy in consistency (this is called creaming).
  2. Then add the eggs and vanilla essence, beat until combined (do not beat much).
  3. Add a third part of the whole wheat flour and mix with a spoon or spatula. Then add the rest of the whole wheat flour. Mix and unite without kneading. Remember this is shortcrust pastry (a type of soft dough that breaks easily) and if you knead a lot, gluten develops and this will give the dough elasticity and you will not get the good result.
  4. Once the pastry is joined (it does not matter that it does not look completely homogeneous) wrap in a plastic film and store in the refrigerator for at least one hour. If you want you can prepare the pastry the day before.
  5. For the Filling: Peel the apples and cut into slices. Place in a bowl, add the lemon and mix. Incorporate the sugar, stir. Let stand for 30 minutes at least. Once this time has passed, strain the apples to remove all the juice they released and add the cinnamon and cornstarch. Mix.
  6. Take the dough out of the fridge and leave it for a few minutes, so it's not too hard, and you can stretch it easily. Sprinkle with a little flour, roll out with a rolling pin and cover with the pastry a 26 x 4 cm pie mold. The edges should stick out of the pan, so don't cut the dough flush.
  7. Place the filling (it is quite a lot, it shrinks a bit during cooking). Roll out the remaining pastry, cut strips of pastry and place them on top of the apples. If you find it difficult, you can cover with the whole dough and make a few cuts to let it breathe. Close the edges with your fingers.
  8. Bake at 180 ° C / 356 ° F for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let cool before unmolding

  • White sugar can be used.
  • Can be used butter, margarine or any other type of cooking oil.
  • Milk can be replaced by water or vegetable milk.

Recipe fails to mention *when* to add milk or how it is to be used in “pastry” and does not instruct on when to use salt.
