Old-fashioned Lattice-Top Apple Pie ( Tarta de manzanas)








Honestly, this is one of the best apple pie I've done.
The mass balance (not too thick) and filling was perfect.
I advise to do it anyway!

And the recipe comes from one of my favorite sites :

Bon appetit








Ingredients

Crust

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted
butter cut into pieces.
6 tablespoons ice water

Filling

1/2 cup sugar 
1/4 cup golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice 
2 teaspoons grated lemon  peel
1/8 teaspoon  ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
About 8 Granny Smith or Golden delicious apples peeled,cored thiny sliced

Method

Crust
Blend flour sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and  cute using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 6 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more water by teaspoons if dough is dry. Gather into a ball. Divide into 2 pieces. Flatten each into disk. Wrap each in plastic and chill by 2 hours.
Let dough soften slightly before rolling out.

Position rack in lowest third oven and preheat to 160° c (350F)
For filling 
Mix sugar, golden brown sugar, all purpose flour, lemon juice, lemon peel nutmeg and cinnamon  and add apples and toss to blend.

Roll out 1 dough disk on floured surface  to 28 cm round and transfer to a pie dish.. Fold edge under forming high standing rim; crimp.
Add filling . Roll out second dough disk on floured surface.
Cut into wide strips. Arrange strips across pi. Form lattice arranging others strips diagonally across first strips.
Gently press ends into crust edges. Brush lattice with milk.
Sprinkle lightly with additional sugar.

Bake pie 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature  180°c (370 F)
Continue baking until juices bubble thickly and crust is deep golden, about 1hour. Covering edges withg foil is browning too quickly.
Let cool in rack about 1 hour.

Pears and strawberry Crumble (Crumble de peras , almendras, coco y frutillas)

If you ask me right now  which season I like best, I would say it is autumn so far.  Sincerely at this time I would be happy to be in Autumn and winter will come. But we are at the end of spring and starting with a very hot summer ,  and   with all the problems we are living here  in our  country now   is very hard. (Many fights here in many sites that is worry me) You can go out one day and you do not know if there will be subway or buses.  Or maybe you have an appointment with the kinesiologist and nobody tells you that he left earlier or that date was suspended, anyway. And when you ask why happens this, all say but you know the times we are living. Im not agree with it. In the middle of this I try to keep doing things like baking, reading and pray (like always reading is my my joy) And  I pray a lot by different reasons. Please pray   for for our country  we need it.  I made my first strawberry jam and I hope to make apricots jam soon. And I  made this crumble a few weeks ago (time

Baked-Egg Tartlets ( Tartas con huevo al horno y ensaladas)

Spring is just starting  here in the Southern hemisphere. But even the mornings are very cold.  But the most beautiful are the roses that have begun to bloom little by little. When we arrived at this house there was nothing, absolutely nothing around, no plants, trees, or flowers. The house was abandoned several years.(all these was about 10 years ago)  And these roses were brought to me( 10 years ago) by a lady who lived close our house  and said : you have to plant these roses, are amazing. We made. They are like a miracle. They have also multiplied over these years. Baked egg tartlets About the recipe are   simple and delicious individual tarts  with a mustard sauce and  egg inside that is baking in the oven. Are really  delicious. I love to serve  with  asparagus and some salads. A big hug to all and have a nice weekend!

Chocolate brownie muffins ( brownies /muffins de chocolate)

I had several recipes ready but it took me some time  start the posts, honestly it's hard  think what to talk about, maybe from here? of the current situation, of sorrows and distress, or  about Christmas that is so close and I love Christmas? Although I am not normally depressed, it is hard to keep the spirit when you watch the news, when there are fires, looting and other things, how did this come about? I dont know. Apart from praying, reading and baking (catharsis) I try to think about Christmas. Even in the most difficult times people celebrate Christmas, and I believe in God and the birth of Jesus, so I will try to take care of the Christmas spirit. Well, apart from continuing to make jams (apricots are maturing) and I don't like to bury the fruit so that's what I'm in. This recipe for "Brownie muffins" has the best of everything, it is a muffin with the taste of a brownie. Thank you all for your mails, love and concern, hugs and  kisses to all ! Source
