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!

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.
Hello! You are absolutely right, thank you for noticing my mistake, I will correct it.
Generally, as a rule, the liquids go with the liquids and the solid with the solid.
Thank you very much for the contribution! Happy New Year!
